GIRLS SOCCER
Southside-Gadsden 7, Clay-Chalkville 1: A string of misfortune continues for the Lady Cougars as they drop their sixth straight contest after beginning the season 2-1. Their section includes Southside and Pinson Valley, so their second loss to Southside gives them an 0-3 section record. Clay-Chalkville will participate in the Pinson Invitational this weekend.
Pinson Valley 4, Mortimer Jordan 1: The Lady Indians notched their third straight victory to improve to 5-2 on the season. It’s the first goal they have allowed during the three-game run.
BOYS SOCCER
Southside-Gadsden 2, Clay-Chalkville 0: The Cougars have been involved in four consecutive shutouts, but were on the losing end of this one. They fall to 0-3 in section play. The Pinson Invitational will not count toward section play, but the Cougars and Indians will meet again April 17 in a section contest.
Pinson Valley 9, Mortimer Jordan 0: The Indians’ third straight win and shutout vaults their record back to the .500 mark at 5-5-2 overall and 1-1 in section play. They have outscored their last three opponents 19-0 and host the Pinson Invitational this weekend.
