Coach Adriana Brena and Lady Cats soccer have won their first district championship in program history.
Sulphur Springs did so going a perfect 8-0 over the course of 15-4A play. They wrapped up their district season Tuesday, in Paris at North Lamar.
The Lady Cats once again won big over the Pantherettes, this time 10-1.
Sweeping North Lamar with their Tuesday win in Paris, Sulphur Springs soundly beat North Lamar in their two games, by a combined margin of 18-2, or a 9:1 advantage in scoring.
Such a devastating differential in goals is emblematic of the Lady Cats’ season.
Over their eight district games, Coach Brena’s squad outscored their opponents 49-5.
At almost 10:1, Sulphur Springs not only won big over their foes but suffocated them on defense. Surrendering just five goals over eight games, on average, the Lady Cats gave up just over half a goal per game. Their offense averaged just over six goals/game.
All eight Lady Cats district games:
- Friday, Feb. 3 — vs. Pleasant Grove, 3-1
