Soccer teams in playoffs April 28
The Pike County Lady Pirates, ranked sixth in Class AA soccer, wrapped up their regular season this week and secured their second straight region championship.
On April 20, the Lady Pirates hosted the Morgan County Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Pirates gained control from the first whistle and pushed the ball deep into Morgan County territory.After numerous shots in the first few minutes, the Lady Pirates found the back of the net when sophomore Jessi Johnson scored her team-leading 10th goal of the season after a cross from sophomore Elizabeth Woodall got behind the Morgan defense. Johnson gathered the ball in as it entered the box and, after turning the defender around with some dazzling footwork, fired a hard shot over the keeper’s head.
