Lady Panthers blow past Chapel Hill, 12-0
Boys fall to Chapel Hill, 5-2
By Sam Epps

CHAPEL HILL–Rarely does a girl’s soccer game end up with a score that looks more akin to a football game.
However, the Mabank Lady Panthers had 12 goals and shut out the hosting Chapel Hill girls Tuesday.
The Lady Panthers scored eight goals in the first half of the game, and tacked on an additional four goals for good measure in the second half.
Mabank’s Savannah Henderson netted five goals herself.
Sammie Saucedo and Meagan Holyfield each had two goals.
Ashton Norman, Shelby Swain and Allie Duke added one goal each.
While the girls were busy in Chapel Hill, the Mabank Panther boys soccer team hosted Chapel Hill Tuesday.
The result was far different, but nonetheless equally exciting.
Chapel Hill rushed out to a 2-0 early in the first half. Mabank’s defense slowed down Chapel Hill, but they still managed to take a 3-0 lead.
Mabank then scored two quick goals – both scored by Chase Williams, one on a penalty kick and the other on a free kick approximately 25 yards from the goal.
Mabank threatened more until Chapel Hill added two to their score late in the first half, giving Chapel Hill a 5-2.
That score held, as the second half was scoreless with both defenses playing strong and hard.
The Lady Panthers traveled to Lindale Friday, while the boys hosted Whitehouse.
The boys will return to action Tuesday as they travel to Athens to face the Hornets, while the ladies will travel to Tyler’s John Tyler.
