Bridges Prep’s boys soccer team roared out of the gate with a preseason tournament title, and the Bucs haven’t stopped since.
Bridges remained unbeaten with a 5-1 win over Region 7-1A rival Royal Live Oaks on Tuesday to improve to 9-0-1 and all but clinch the region crown.
“I’m so proud of my guys,” Bridges Prep coach Bruce Marroquin said. “They went through some adversity in the first half of a very emotional, physical game, but they stayed calm and composed.”
Clay Sanders scored a pair of goals in the big win, while Gary Hansen, Liam Sanders, and Pablo Astorqui-Manene each added one with Zaire Nelson providing a pair of assists. The Bucs’ back line kept the pressure off keeper Darick Fisher, who turned away four shots.
The Bucs also routed Whale Branch 10-0 last week, getting a hat trick from Austin Lesesne and two goals each from Timothy English and Hansen.
BA girls finding footing
After a four-match winless streak that included two ties against quality opponents, Beaufort Academy’s girls got back on track with a pair of wins last week, blanking Colleton Prep 6-0 at home and handing crosstown rival Holy Trinity its first loss in a 3-1 road victory Friday.
The Eagles (5-2-2, 2-1) have an opportunity to avenge their only region loss thus far when they host Patrick Henry at 5:15 p.m. Monday.
