Here’s a look at how area soccer teams fared this week.

Loyd Star, Bogue Chitto

The Loyd Star girls’ soccer team moved to 7-1 on the season Tuesday with an 8-0 win over Bogue Chitto.

LS got four goals from junior Mary Claire McCurley and two goals from sophomore Abby Burnette in the win. Senior Brooke Cade added one goal and two assists for coach Jordan Lea while senior Macy East added a goal and an assist.

“I was curious to see how we’d play after the Thanksgiving break, but we didn’t seem to show any signs of rust,” said Lea. “The girls competed from start to finish, were able to dictate the game and never stopped pressuring Bogue Chitto.”
