Smith County Lady Owls Soccer is back in motion. The Lady Owls hosted 2A Stone Memorial in their home opener on August 13th. Stone brought an aggressive game but Smith County never gave in. Senior Kiley Jenkins netted her first goal of the season and her first goal since sitting out a year with injury, she was assisted by Aubree Spain. Freshman Matty Walker also scored for the Lady Owls. This was Walker’s first high school goal and she received the assist from Senior Aubrey Felice. However, these goals were not enough as the Lady Owls fell to Stone Memorial 2-4 in front of a packed park.
