Batesville boys soccer competed in a home conference match Saturday with Franklin County. The Bulldogs won 9-0. The Bulldogs came out aggressive pressing the defense immediately according to this report from BHS coach Kyle Hunteman.
Franklin County let up several early corners. The Dogs Ian Carpenter placed his corner kicks into Sebie Trainor and Ethan Goodin for the first two goals of the match. Next, Trainor played a through-ball to Eli Pierson who shot low on the goal for Batesville’s third.
Another corner was let up in a similar fashion as Carpenter found Trainor again. The fifth goal came when Eli Pierson took possession from the Wildcat’s defense and hit the net. The final goal of the half (6-0) was scored by Owen Powers when he was fouled in the box for a penalty kick. The end of the half was finished by some of the JV squad, and those players took control of the second half.
Sophomore Noah Pierson took a close shot to goal when his opponent lost possession too close in the defensive third. The eighth goal was posted when Nate Reder lofted a ball into the net from beyond the 18. The ninth and final goal was recorded by freshman Reed Hixson with an assist from Solomon Butz. The referees then called the game as the Bulldogs won 9-0.
