On Monday, May 7, the Beaufort High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team faced off against the White Knoll Timberwolves for the first round game in the Class 4-A playoffs.
With intensity on the field and some great saves by the goalie, the score was 0-0 at the half. Then the <a href="http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Soccer1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6701" title="Soccer1" src="http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Soccer1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Lady Eagles turned up the heat and won 2-1.
Coming into the playoffs, the girls had an undefeated regional record and had allowed only one goal against them in the eight previous games.
The stands at the field at Beaufort Middle School were full of proud parents and enthusiastic supporters of these dedicated, hard working athletes.
We wish continued success to the team and Coaches Terry Rawlins and Eric Taylor, but regardless of the outcome, we recognize the effort and teamwork it took just to make it to the playoffs. The girls’ achievements make them winners, and hopefully an inspiration to the whole community.
