Congratulations to the Lady Jacket soccer team for their 4-1 win over El Dorado! It was their second straight win over the Lady Cats after an 18-year drought.

Haven Rhoden led the scoring with 2, with Jillian Alexander and Giselle Wackerly both adding a goal. The defense was tested, but stood strong with goalkeeper Chloe Smith having multiple saves along with Stormy Royal, Addison Crealey, Carley Hancock and Caroline Ritchie keeping the Lady Cats almost scoreless. The Lady Jackets are now 9-0 overall, which is the best start in over 20 years.
