GIRLS
It took extra time, but the Lady Indians picked up a crucial region victory when hosting Elbert County, 5-4 on Tuesday.
#8-ranked TFS got a pair of goals from LB Kafsky in the opening half, assisted on one by Jenna Chesser. The game was tied at two apiece heading into the half. Chesser scored twice in the second half, with Kafsky returning the favor with one assist, and Bailey Crumley notching the other.
Chesser completed the hat trick in overtime, assisted by Tessa Foor. The defense buckled down in the second OT.
“Josie Chesser stopped multiple runs that were no doubt going to be goals,” says coach Erin Jimenez. “She’s the MVP for tonight.”
The offense put around 25 shots on goal. After a strong start, the girls struggled to keep up the pace according to Jimenez. However, they dominated possession near the end of the game.
“These ladies really showed out tonight, and came out with the win,” exclaims Jimenez.
TFS is now 4-2 overall and 3-0 in region play, and now winners of three in a row.

BOYS
#2-ranked Tallulah Falls picked up a second straight win with a 9-2 victory Tuesday at home over Elbert County. It marked the fifth time this season in which the offense scored seven or more goals.
TFS got another 4-goal game from Austin Ball, as he and Jackson Cording both recorded hat tricks. Clay Kafsky had a goal, and Elbert recorded an own goal. Jake Wehrstein, Kafsky, Ball, and Landon Hall all had an assist each.
“It was a rainy night with slick field conditions but great for a game,” says coach Jeremy Stille. “For the most part, the boys moved the ball well offensively and controlled possession the majority of the game. We had a couple mental lapses on defense that Elbert took advantage of. Overall, the boys played tough and earned another region win to keep us on par with the other top teams in the 8-A DI. From here, we will regroup, analyze, and improve our game in preparation for a tough match against BASA on Friday.”
The Indians are 6-1 overall and now 3-0 in region play.
