The region championship will once again run through Tallulah Falls.
The No. 6-ranked Tallulah Falls School boys soccer team delivered a commanding performance Friday night, defeating Athens Christian 9-0 at home to secure its fourth consecutive region title.
With the win, the Indians improved to 13-1 on the season, extending their winning streak to 13 games. Tallulah Falls also finished a perfect 10-0 in region play, reinforcing its position as one of the top teams in the state.
“The team played well and they were able to move the ball efficiently throughout the game,” coach Jeremy Stille said. “They were able to exploit spaces and put good shots on target, as well as defensively maintain composure and limit opportunities and shots for Athens Christian.”
Tallulah Falls controlled the match from start to finish, allowing just two shots on goal while maintaining constant offensive pressure.
Bushy Turnquest led the scoring effort with a hat trick, netting three goals. Fabricio Turner Sandoval added two goals, while Avery Chatman, JT Head, Ryan Kelsick, and Tyson Hall each contributed one goal apiece.
Simon Gainzarain Hernando played a key role in setting up scoring opportunities, recording two assists.
Stille praised his team’s accomplishment and focus as they head into the final stretch of the season.
“Very proud of the guys on completing a fourth region title win in a row and looking forward to finishing the regular season next week, including senior night on Friday before we move into the state playoffs,” he said.
