Boyle County Girls Soccer finishes out their history-making season!

Last Thursday, the girls soccer team played Bethlehem at Lafayette High School in the final four round. The girls came out fast and fired up, the game between these two teams shaping up to be a battle.

The girls fought hard while the fans were yelling and screaming “GO REBELS.” They possessed the ball well in the first 30 minutes with crisp passes, sharp runs, and a determination to win.

It was a clash between two unstoppable forces, but Bethlehem got the better side of things as they scored off a counterattack and pursued the win. Our Girls held their heads high to try and win it back, but Bethlehem took control of the game and scored again. During the second half we pushed for a goal to get back at them. We were close but The Lady Banshees scored off a corner kick and made it 3-0.

This season was a “Magical run with an amazing group of girls, but we’re not finished,” says Coach Deem, already looking forward to next year!

Congratulations to the girls soccer team for making school history and going to the final four.

Historic Elite Eight victory for the Girls!

On Thursday night, the girls soccer team played against Russell Independent on the road for their Elite 8 State Game. A match that will go down in school history that was full of possession, counterattacks, and magic.

After a late opener goal from the Russell side in the second half, it only took your Rebels 20 seconds to respond and tie the score at 1-1, with the first goal by sophomore, #22, Addison Hazlett. With 10 minutes to go, Boyle secured it into the back of the net with a beautiful goal, once again by Hazlett, to make it 2-1 at full time.

Historic win for the Rebels and a memorable one for Hazlett, the manufacturer of the 2 goals. However, the tournament is not over yet. The girls have an important challenge coming up against Bethlehem next Thursday afternoon for their final 4 game at Lafayette High School at 4pm.

LET’S GO REBELS!

 

Girls soccer defeats Madison Central and advances to Elite Eight!

This past Monday night at Rebel Stadium, the girls soccer team came face to face for round one of state with the Madison Central Indians.

The Indians put up a good fight, but our girls fought harder and came out on top in the first half, 1-0, with a goal by junior Maggie Gnann.

During the second half, Madison Central couldn’t even hold the ball on our side of the field. The girls had a break away run towards the goal and put another in the back of the net, the goal by Maggie Burke making the game 2-0. Boyle’s defense held strong and kept the Indians out of the goal up until the final, with many close saves by Addison Cannon, goalkeeper, that set the crowd roaring!

Off we go to the Elite Eight with our Rebels rolling along! Coach Brian Deem lauded his players, saying, “The girls played with passion and heart and got the job done, we move on past these big wins and take on the next team.”

Who, when and where the girls play next will be decided in tonight’s game between Russell and Prestonsburg to determine who will move on to the Elite Eight!

The Rebels played their 12th Region semifinals against East Jessamine at West Jessamine on Thursday night.

As for the clean sheet, Bugg says, “Our defense did their job to keep them from scoring.”

The girls will face West Jessamine on Saturday afternoon.

Good luck Rebels!

Girls Soccer Team Slayed the Lady Maroons

This past Monday, our girls soccer team played Pulaski at West Jessamine for the first round of regions. The girls came out strong and fast, ready to win. The mentality was there, the aggression was there.

The Lady Maroons didn’t know what to expect when they came face to face with our girls. The game was over before we knew it. The final score was 10-0, and our girls showed no mercy.

“We played a great game, everyone played their best and made great dissensions on the field,” said sophomore Ellery Taylor. “We dominated the field with great passes and good opportunities to finish, and we did. I’m proud of my team.”

The girls will play again on Saturday in the region championship match against West Jessamine. Best of luck to the girls for a win to get that region title! We hope they can make it back quickly and look forward to celebrating with them at the homecoming dance later that day!
