The weather did its best to wreak havoc, but the show went on at three sites this weekend for the Warrior Invitational, the annual kickoff to the local high school soccer season.
Three days of games at Whale Branch Early College High School, Whale Branch Middle School, and Battery Creek High School culminated with three championship games Sunday.
Beaufort High’s boys were a last-minute addition to the field when Ridgeland-Hardeeville dropped out, and the Eagles claimed the Zulu Bracket title with a 3-1 win over Battery Creek after notching a 3-1 win over Charleston Math & Science and a scoreless draw with Woodland in the rain during pool play.
Bridges Prep’s girls won the Amazonian Bracket title with a 2-1 win over Battery Creek, and the Bucs boys won the Spartan Bracket, taking down Palmetto Scholars 4-1 in the championship game. Bridges also picked up a 5-0 win over Hampton County and a 3-0 result against Charleston Math & Science after opening the tournament with a 1-1 draw with Groves.
Rocco Marten scored four goals for the Bucs, including a hat trick against Hampton County. Timothy English and Clay Sanders each had two goals and two assists in the tournament, while Michael Legier added two goals and an assist, and Liam Sanders scored two goals.
