Season Opener Recap: Hillcrest 1 Waynesville 5

Tuesday, August 30th
Waynesville - Hornets Soccer began their 2011 season with a hard fought away loss to Waynesville.
Hornets took the lead 1-0 about 20 minutes into the first half when Swedish exchange Senior David Radebo connected a long pass down the outside right of the Waynesville 18 to Sophomore Ngozi Gregory who took a one touch into the goal. Waynesville tied the match before half with 1 minute left and second half saw 3 goals in the last 15 minutes. Depth from the bench was a big factor in the outcome but the Hornets never gave in. Additional highlights included sophomore goalie Caleb Boston with 16 saves including one on a PK. 
Though a loss, their 5-1 match is a strong improvement over the home 8-0 loss from last year. Hornets Boys soccer is assured more in the W category this year as the team builds on its strong competitive start. 

-For those not taking the trip to root on our Football Hornets, please join us on the pitch at 4pm Thursday for our season home opener against Rogersville. 

Boy’s soccer wishes their sport cohorts a magnificent game in Arkansas.
