Pike Central defended pret- ty much the whole game, with the Patriots scoring three goals in the first half. They came out in the second half more determined than the first and held Heritage Hills at a three-point lead. The La- dy Chargers were unable to sink any goals and lost the game 0 -3. Head Coach Chad Western said, "Heritage Hills is a top five ranked team in class 2A. They have outscored teams 78 -6 this year, so we defend- ed the whole game. They are really skilled and fast, and can score a few in a hurry. We played well, but gave up a lot of offense playing this way. All the girls played well against a great team." LADY CHARGERS VS. EAGLES The Lady Chargers also played Evansville Christian this week on Thursday, Sep- tember 30. The girls' soccer team played hard, but ended up giving up two goals in the first half, making the score 0 -2, Ea- gles' lead. In the second half, the Lady Chargers tightened their ranks in the defense, but the Eagles still managed to score another goal. The game ended with the Lady Chargers losing 0 -3.
