Thursday September 26th the Lady Owls hosted York Institute for a District Match. It was also Smith County’s Senior Night, honoring six players and one manager at the halftime break. The Seniors were Katie Flynn, Aubrey Felice, Briley Grisham, Kiley Jenkins, Madelyn Hula, Averi Hopkins and Mike Martin.
The game started with a light on and off rain but picked up as the game went on. It did not seem to bother the Lady Owls who won 8-0. The first half saw goals from Briley Grisham and Aubrey Felice, while the Lady Dragons were more focused on a complete defense rather than offense. York continued the second half the same way, making no shots on goal and failing to stop Smith County reaching the net. Smith County scored an additional six goals in the second half. Aubree Felice assisted by Aubree Spain, Kiley Jenkins assisted by Aubrey Felice, Jenkins would score the next goal followed two minutes later by Felice, giving Felice a hat trick. Aubree Spain assisted by Kacie Chiapperini, and the final goal scored by Kylee Brooks assisted by Bella Breece.
The Lady Owls have one more regular season game which will be Tuesday October 1st at Jackson County. The District Tournament will begin the next week in Jamestown, hosted by York. Currently Smith County leads the District Standings 5-0, followed by Cannon 3-2, Jackson 1-2-1 and York in last place with 0-5-1.
This has been a great season so far for the Lady Owls and they look forward to the post season journey. We hope everyone will come out and support them and give them the fire to keep bringing home the wins.
