CR Walker Lady Knights senior girls victorious

the GHS Magic wrapped up the CR Walker Knights 2-1.

The defending champions fell 0-1 in the first half following a goal by the Knights’ Kevin Thomas.

However, the team regrouped nicely, putting two goals on the board courtesy of Brian Baker and Wilder Petit Homme.

The latter also took home the MVP hardware for the championship team.

Melvin Miller, head coach of the Magic, talked about the team’s GSSSA win.

“This is awesome. We came out here and had little difficulties [at] first to get in it but we regrouped at the halftime and ironed out our kinks, went back out there and gave them the Magic,” Miller said.

He added that the team’s strategy in the second half was to tighten up in the midfield, press at them, and break through their defenses.

Juniors

The junior girls of HO Nash thwarted the Raptors’ chance of another GSSSA sports win.

The Lions wrapped up the title chances of the Raptors after closing out the team 2-0.

Both of the team’s goals came in the second half, the first of which was scored by Zantè Ferguson.

An additional goal was scored by Evanice Sands. She was also awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) honours.

She said it felt good to win the MVP because soccer is not a sport she usually plays. However, she decided to play because she wanted to do something for her school.

The young MVP also said she made it her goal to score because she didn’t want the team to win with only one point.

Lions head coach Cherlindria Thompson talked about the junior girls’ victory.
