District Champs!

The LadyJacket soccer team won the 25th District championship tonight, beating Anderson County 2-1 in the fourth overtime period.

The win also means the 13th Regional tourney will be played at Woodford.

The first half of the game was a physical defensive contest. Neither team generated more than a couple of scoring chances, and the first 40 minutes ended in a 0-0 tie.

The Jackets struck just 1:15 into the second when Brandi Levi put a low header past the Bearcat keeper off a Stephanie Patterson corner kick.

The goal opened the game up a bit, with the Yellow Jackets pressing the attack in the Anderson zone. Katrina Ott nearly put Woodford up by two when she drove one on net from about 20 yards out and hit the post.

Anderson tied it with 6:42 remaining in regulation off a corner kick that the Jackets couldn't clear.

Levi nearly gave Woodford the win with about 40 seconds left. She spun free of a Bearcat defender and drove into the box, but put her shot just wide.

The exhausted Yellow Jackets finally closed out the win with 1:23 remaining in the final OT period. Patterson got a free kick just outside the Anderson box. She arched the ball perfectly across the goal mouth where Levi shook free and nudged the ball in off her hip.

Levi earned tourney MVP honors with her effort. Patterson, Ott and Kayla Washington made the all district team.
