Semifinals Wednesday night at Raz Autry Stadium
October 28, 2009 Hoke County High School
RAEFORD, NC - The #2 seed Hoke High soccer team (12-4-2, 4-4-0) will host the Lumberton Pirates (7-11-1, 3-4-1) in the semifinals of the inaugural SEC Tournament Wednesday night, after weather forced a Tuesday postponement. Lumberton has had the Bucks' number so far this season. The Pirates scored four goals in each of the first two contests, beating the Bucks 4-2 in their first meeting in Raeford, and 4-3 two weeks ago in Lumberton. "In the first two games, they won almost all of the 50/50 battles," Coach Derek Butler said. "We have to compete for every loose ball tonight to be successful." In the other semifinal, Pinecrest (11-4-1, 7-1-0) will host Richmond County (11-8-1, 2-5-1), who defeated Scotland County (7-11-1, 3-5-0) by a score of 4-0 Monday night. The SEC championship game will be held Thursday night, hosted by the highest seed still remaining after Tuesday's slate of games. |
