Batesville played Lawrenceburg at home Thursday evening winning 1-0.
Lawrenceburg came into the first half fast and aggressive. The Bulldogs knew this would be a challenge and our goal was to focus on possession in order to get the upper hand. First half Batesville did a great job finding each other’s feet on the field. The ball was passed horizontally and diagonally- running our opponent with great control. At 26.35 Salvador Blanco playing forward, dribbled past his mark and held his pass for a perfectly timed through ball to our wing, Michael Ripperger, who finished on goal, giving us a 1-0 lead.
Second half started much like the first with great hustle. We were unable to get another goal through the rest of the game, but our defense was solid and able to keep the shutout. 1-0 Win for Batesville.
