Very good games tonight. Great weather for the players, a bit chilly for the fans.
Nation Ford gets a 1-0 win over Olympic on a nice goal by Macy Simpson. Unfortunately Macy later went down with what appears to be a serious knee injury. Many familiar faces in the stands for this match as girls from both teams grew up playing club soccer together.
Rock Hill over Grace Academy 2-0 behind two goals from Alex Ramsey. Grace Academy really knocks the ball around quite well and they will have a couple more girls available for their match against Northwestern tomorrow.
First Presbyterian Day (Macon, GA) looked like a well-oiled machine in their 3-0 victory over Eastside. They have some very talented players on their roster and a couple of very dangerous forwards up top.
Clover stood toe-to-toe with NC 3A power Charlotte Catholic before falling 1-0. Catholic scored with less than 10 minutes to play in the match. Freshman center defender Kylie Allen was a monster in the back for Clover.
Northwestern held a very good Forsyth Country Day team scoreless through 80 minutes. While FCD had more talent, Cantona's Lady Trojans did more work.
Fort Mill thrashed a very good Lake Norman team in the night cap, but the scoreboard doesn't lie. The Lady Jackets failed to convert on at least five good chances and Lake Norman made them pay with five minutes remaining in the match. Lake Norman's only shot in the second half of the match was a PK and they converted it.
More good high school girls soccer tomorrow.
