Soccer Preview: Panther Creek vs. Apex
The Panther Creek Catamounts are taking a road trip to take on the Apex Cougars at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Apex will have to contend with a Panther Creek team hungry for a victory, something the squad hasn't seen yet this season. Panther Creek fell 3-1 to Holly Springs on Monday. While losing is never fun, the Catamounts can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 296th, while the Golden Hawks are ranked second).
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in September, Apex was forced to settle for a draw on Thursday. Neither they nor Cary could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The Cougars had to tread lightly for part of the game as four Apex players were handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
Their goal came courtesy of
Griffin Romandetta, which was the first he's scored this season.
Panther Creek's defeat dropped their record down to 0-13-1. Apex's draw gives them a new season record of 4-6-3.
