Soccer Game Preview: Overton vs. Antioch

The Overton Bobcats will square off against the Antioch Bears at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Overton's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for three straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.

Overton managed to slip by Hillsboro the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Bobcats came up short against the Burros on Tuesday, falling 6-0. While losing is never fun, Overton can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee soccer rankings (they are ranked 140th, while Hillsboro are ranked 14th).

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Antioch). Their defense stepped up to hand Pearl-Cohn an 8-0 shutout on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Antioch's win bumped their record up to 5-6-2. As for Overton, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-6-4.

Overton suffered a grim 3-0 defeat to Antioch in their previous meeting back in March. Can the Bobcats avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
