Soccer Game Preview: Barbers Hill vs. Montgomery

The Barbers Hill Eagles will take on the Montgomery Bears on Monday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Barbers Hill is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They never let Santa Fe get on the board and left with a 5-0 victory. Give Barbers Hill's defense some credit: that's the team's ninth straight shutout.

Their offense was hitting Santa Fe from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal.

Meanwhile, Montgomery had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 goals) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They blew past the Broncos 7-0. Given Montgomery's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 190th, while Dayton are ranked 416th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Barbers Hill is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 15 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-3-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those 15 contests. Montgomery pushed their record up to 16-6-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road.
