Chilton County High School Soccer Teams Experience Mixed Results in Recent Matches

In the vibrant city of Chilton County, high school soccer took center stage this past week, showcasing a mix of emotions for the boys and girls teams at Chilton County High School (CCHS). Action-packed matches unfolded between February 22 and February 27, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Girls’ Team Shines with Their First Win

The CCHS varsity girls soccer team finally found their groove, notching their first win of the season against Montevallo High School with a thrilling score of 2-1 on February 27. Their week didn’t exactly kick off on the right note, as they faced a tough loss to Helena High School just two days earlier, where they were shut out 10-0. Such a setback could have dimmed their spirits, but these young athletes persevered and bounced back with clean determination.

The match against Montevallo began with a bit of drama—CCHS fell behind early with an opposing goal that made for a challenging start. However, Mary Thornhill was not about to let her team go down without a fight. She earned a penalty kick in the first half and made no mistake in converting it to tie the game just before halftime. What a relief that must have been!

In the second half, Thornhill struck again, stunning the opponents with a remarkable shot from 20 yards out that secured a 2-1 lead for CCHS. This moment was crucial, as junior goalkeeper Tenna To kept her team’s hopes alive with several outstanding saves, defending their lead fiercely. The victory was a massive boost for the girls’ confidence, proving that hard work and resilience can lead to triumph, even after a tough loss.

Boys’ Team Faces Challenges

CCHS varsity boys soccer team entered the week with zero losses but faced a harsh reality. They suffered their first two losses of the season, beginning with a 6-1 defeat against Helena High School, where Jesus Centeno managed to snag the only goal for his team. Unfortunately, they followed that disappointment with another setback, losing 4-1 to Montevallo, despite Jose Salgado scoring their lone goal.

The head coach of the boys’ team expressed concern over how the team struggled to maintain focus against formidable opponents. Their upcoming matches promise to be challenging, as they prepare to face the top-10 ranked Stanhope Elmore High School at home on March 3, followed by an away game at Sylacauga High School on March 5. Fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see how the boys will regroup and respond after these early-season hurdles.

Looking ahead, both the boys and girls teams will have a busy schedule. They’ll both compete against Stanhope Elmore and Sylacauga on the same nights, which adds a layer of excitement for fans looking to cheer on their teams. The girls will kick off their game at 5:30 p.m., with the boys taking the field at 7 p.m.

Moreover, the junior varsity boys team is set to participate in the Sylacauga JV Tournament from March 1-2, where they will compete against teams from Briarwood, Springville, and Wetumpka High Schools.
