SF soccer squad
blanks Haywood
Having been coached by Mixon Moore since South Fulton’s soccer progam began, his former players showed him how much they’ve learned on Tuesday.
Now the head coach at Haywood, Moore saw his new squad shut out by his old team as the Red Devilettes remained unbeaten and unscored-upon two matches into the 2012 season with a 2-0 victory over Haywood.
Desiray Sturgeon scored both SF goals, each unassisted, while Taleah Cross had an outstanding game in goal with 19 keeper saves.
First-year SF head coach Emily Belote praised the play of her entire team, particularly noting the hustle of Sara Reams, in the win.

Obion Central opened its girls’ soccer season in style.
The Lady Rebels scored seven first-half goals, then cruised to an 8-2 victory over host McKenzie Tuesday afternoon.
Brooke Jennings found the net four times for OC, while Whitney Lee booted in a pair of goals. Both Katie Speed and Erin Chappell also scored for Central.
Danielle Gansereit had two assists, while Kaycee Mathenia, Jennings and Lee also aided the county locals on goal-scoring plays.
Taylor Baker had a pair of saves in goals for the victors.
