The first week of the new high school fall soccer season in southern Indiana is in the books and it turned out to be a good one for two of our squads at the Columbus North District 5 round robin tournament.
Both New Albany and Providence's girls' varsity teams chalked up a pair of victories with 15 goals between them. The Bulldogs beat South Dearborn 5-0 and Lawrenceburg 1-0, while the Pioneers comfortably held off Cascade (3-0) and Oldenburg Academy (6-1).
The third of our participants at the tournament, Jeffersonville, lost narrowly in a goalfest to Cascade 5-4, and went down 3-0 to Oldenburg.
We recently featured the new Charlestown girls' program, and it played its first game against Switzerland County Saturday. The Lady Pirates found the opposition tough, losing 6-0, but it's early days at Charlestown and lots of improvement should come with experience.
Over to the boys and another team we featured, Christian Academy of Indiana, got off to 100 per cent start in its two weekend games, with a 3-1 victory over South Ripley, and a 6-1 win against Scottsburg. We told you to look out for striker Andrew Rosenberg, and he followed up his pair in the South Ripley triumph with five against Scottsburg. For the record, Paul DeVore (South Ripley) and Chris Smith (Scottsburg) were the other scores for the Warriors.
CAI will play at unbeaten Jeffersonville (2-0) on Saturday (11 a.m.) in a game not to be missed. The last time the pair met was at the 2008 sectional, when the Red Devils ran out 2-1 winners.
New Albany, with Ben Vigar as new head coach, lost its first game of the season at home to Forest Park 2-0. The Bulldogs' next matchup is against Corydon on Thursday (5.30 p.m.), before heading to the Shelbyville tourney on Saturday.
