Batesville played Jac Cen Del Thursday at home in a non-conference game tied 0-0.
First half Batesville struggled a bit to connect passes on the ground. The ball traveled long and high without the control we desired. We outshot them, but couldn’t get the ball past their keeper. Second half looked better as we were able to pick up the pace of the game and control the ball. We lacked creativity in the final third of the field, resulting in a 0-0 tie.

Tuesday night the Bulldogs traveled to South Dearborn to face the Knights in one half of a junior varsity match.
We didn’t waste much time in asserting our will on the game. With only about 3 minutes gone off the clock, James Kuisel beat a defender and shot the ball near post, past the keeper to make the score 1-0. As the game continued, the Bulldogs had a pretty good hold on the game. With about 21 minutes left on the clock we had a free kick on the opponent’s half, but in the middle 1/3 of the field.
Cory Ralston stepped up and hit a deep shot that went over the opposing keeper and into the back of the net to take the score to 2-0. Next it was Calvin Sherwood’s turn to join in on the scoring. With 9:55 left on the clock, he dribbled past a couple guys in the middle of the field and proceeded to shoot far post, past the keeper to make it 3-0. The game would end with this scoreline and the Bulldogs adding another to the win column.
