Lady Jacket soccer

The Lady Jackets won 4-0 last night over Owen County.

It was an odd game. Woodford lost 3-2 to sixth ranked Highlands the night before in N. Kentucky and didn't get home until after midnight. They were also playing their fourth game in eight days. The team was tired and it really showed on the field.

But despite their weariness, the Yellow Jackets still dominated the game. It was strange to see a team totally control a game without any real intensity.

Woodford played a lot of players and most of the starters were on the bench by half time. Callie Reichenbach and Rachel Edenstrom notched their first varsity goals.

The loss in Highlands was a tough one. The Jackets held their own in a hostile stadium after a long bus ride. Highlands got the winning goal with under a minute left.

Coach Dave McIver said that it was one of the best high school soccer games he's seen and he was very proud of his teams' effort.

"I think it gives them a confidence that they can play with anybody in the state."

The Lady Jackets have one more game on Saturday at 1 p.m. against a good South Laurel team (11-3-1 and undefeated in their region).

The district tournament will take place in Anderson County the week of Oct. 13.
