Eagles, Dolphins’ girls off to hot starts
LowcoSports.com
One has done it with an offensive blitz and the other on the strength of a dominant goalkeeper, but the girls soccer teams from Battery Creek and Beaufort High are both off to hot starts, making their home-and-home series March 21 (Beaufort) and March 24 (BCHS) more intriguing all the time.
Sophia Felix continued her blistering start with four goals in the Dolphins’ 6-3 win over Wade Hampton on Friday, giving her 20 goals — and four hat tricks — in five games this season.
She will soon face the challenge of sneaking one past Beaufort keeper Quinn Wilson, which hadn’t happened in the run of play through two games. Wilson blanked Hilton Head High and the Eagles bested the Seahawks in a penalty shootout, and a free kick and a penalty netted the lone goals in a 2-0 loss at Bluffton.
John Paul II’s boys have rolled to lopsided wins in their first two games but faced a tough test Tuesday at Bluffton, as coach Josh Fox took on his former team.
Battery Creek’s boys are also off to a solid start at 3-1 after a 7-3 win over Wade Hampton on Friday. Talmadge Magbee scored a hat trick and Ashton Morgan added two goals to lead the Dolphins.
