In the aftermath of Tuesday’s easy 7-0 win over Austin-East and last week’s impressive run through what is arguably one of the toughest stretches of their schedule, the Seymour Eagles’ soccer team appears to playing at a particularly high level as the regular season winds down and the all-important postseason beckons.
The Eagles had their way with the undermanned Roadrunners Tuesday at Seymour’s Benton Householder Field, scoring three goals in the first half and three quick goals in the first few minutes of the second half before putting in reserves and adding one more tally over the game’s final minutes.
Tuesday’s game was on the heels of the Eagles’ impressive showing last weekend at the competitive Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett Tournament.
Despite dropping their initial game of the tourney to hosts Dobyns-Bennett (11-0-3) on Friday, the Eagles picked up a head of steam and wiped out AAA foe Greenville 3-0 in Saturday’s early game. Seymour then continued its defensive dominance on the day in a 2-0 win over David Crocket High School later Saturday evening.
Seymour wrapped up tournament play by playing AAA power Oak Ridge to a 2-2 tie on Sunday.
The Eagles have outscored its last five opponents by a combined score of 22-4.
Seymour now stands at 8-2-2 overall and 4-0 in district play with a crucial home game against conference-rival Carter coming up on Friday. The Eagles will then finish out their regular season grid with a district game at home against Grace Christian on Tuesday, April 22, A district game at Alcoa on Friday, April 25, and the regular-season finale’ at county rival Pigeon Forge on Tuesday, April 29.
