Boys:  Hattiesburg 3   Picayune  2

The Picayune Maroon Tide dropped a hard fought district soccer game to the Hattiesburg Tigers last night in Hattiesburg.

Hattiesburg started the scoring with a break away goal early in the contest. The Tide answered when Lorenzo Woods scored

on the rebound of a Britton Fortenberry direct kick to tie the score at 1-1. 

About 30 minutes into the first half, Scott Hillery took a Britton Fortenberry pass and dribbled through three Hattiesburg

defenders to scored on the Tiger goalie. The Tide held the lead into the half and for the first 25 minutes of the second half.

But as the Tide defense tired, they couldn't hold off a determined Hattiesburg front line who scored two late goals to take
the victory by a 3-2 margin. The Tide dropped to 1-2 in the district.

Girls:  Hattiesburg  4    Picayune  0
