Soccer Preview: Atherton vs. Waggener

Suggested Video

After six games on the road, Atherton is heading back home. They will welcome the Waggener Wildcats at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Atherton's offense might be in the hot seat on Thursday considering what happened against Christian Academy-Louisville on Tuesday. They fell just short of the Centurions by a score of 1-0.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Waggener). They never let Portland Christian onto the board and left with an 8-0 win on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Atherton dropped their record down to 2-8-1 with that defeat, which was their fifth straight on the road. As for Waggener, the win also got them back to even at 4-4.

Atherton beat Waggener 5-3 in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Does Atherton have another victory up their sleeve, or will Waggener turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
