Off a corner kick from Olivia Olarte, freshman defender Bella DeLisio swoops in to bury the first goal of her high school career in Franklin Academy's 7-0 win Wednesday at Raleigh Charter.

Bella the ball

Off a Cierra Cole corner, Bella DeLisio's header nicks the bottom of the crossbar in the NC championship final. Of the 4 state champs, 3 had a 45-minute drive or less, the 4th about 90 minutes - so much for a neutral site. (Clearly I'm not over it.)

Game of centimeters in a season of brilliance

Cierra Cole blasts a bending, slippery corner kick the keeper can't grab to open scoring in FA's 6-3 win over Roanoke Rapids in the east region finals. The Pats got 2 goals from Audrey Probasco, one each by Olivia Olarte, Lydia Rogers & Rylee Caine.

Eastern NC champs!

Rylee Caine turns on the jets to deliver a cross to hard-charging Audrey Probasco in FA's third-round 5-0 shutout of Clinton. The Patriots got goals from 5 different players - Caine, Libby Burrows, Olivia Olarte and Lydia Rogers (plus 2 assists).

3 down, 3 to go

Lydia Rogers, scoring on Olivia Olarte's pass, netted 3 goals, 2 assists as FA got 2 goals, 3 assists by Olarte, 3 goals by Rylee Caine, goals by Kayla Rice & Audrey Keith, & assists by Libby Burrows (2), Lindsey Spell, Cierra Cole & Audrey Probasco.

Nine Patriots chipped in a goal or assist in the win over Louisburg

Olivia Olarte's cross to Rylee Caine helped FA beat Louisburg 10-0 in a mercy-rule game that ended early (so fans could see the Hurricanes' NHL playoffs). Caine had 3 goals, Lydia Rogers bagged 3 goals, 2 assists, & Olarte added 2 goals, 3 assists.

Thanks in part to Caine, we got to see the Canes!

Bella DeLisio heads in  Audrey Keith's corner kick during FA's 9-0 senior day win over Raleigh Charter. The Pats also got goals by senior Lydia Rogers (3), senior Olivia Olarte (2), senior keeper Griff Coward, Cierra Cole & Kayla Rice (4 assists).

Bell-a ring-a !

Olivia Olarte delivers a cross that Kayla Rice buries in the top corner for 1 of her 3 goals in FA's 7-0 win over Wake Prep. Olarte also scored as did Audrey Keith, Lydia Rogers & Audrey Probasco. The Pats defense posted its 11th shutout of the year.

Corner pocket

Lydia Rogers serves up a free kick and Audrey Probasco heads it over the keeper in Franklin Academy's 7-1 win at Woods Charter. Olivia Olarte led the charge with 4 goals, while Kayla Rice and Rogers (to go with 3 assists) netted a goal apiece.

Audacious goal by Audrey !

Last week vs. NCSSM, Lydia Rogers punished multiple defenders and found the top of the net in Franklin Academy's win. Rogers scored again Monday, along with Kayla Rice (2), Olivia Olarte, Cierra Cole & Elizabeth Hanssen in a 6-0 defeat of Falls Lake.

Up top !

With a great pass in traffic, Olivia Olarte gives the ball to Cierra Cole, who buries the shot in Franklin Academy's 4-0 win Friday over the School of Science & Math.

Sharing is caring

Libby Burrows knocks in a great pass from Olivia Olarte early in Franklin Academy's 3-1 win over 3-A Richlands on Saturday at The Brittany Soccer Showcase in Wilson.

Burrows buries one

Kristine Carroll rises up for a header off Olivia Olarte's corner but Patriots can't find the net as an amazing season ends in 1-0 loss. Franklin won the Conference Championship and finished 22-3, the most wins since 2019.

Close call vs. Seaforth (one of many)

GK Griffin Coward swats away a corner kick as FA defenders (and the post!) conspire to keep Clinton scoreless. Olivia Olarte fired in two goals as the Patriots prep for the state playoffs.

Defense notches 11th shutout as Olarte scores twice

Olivia - bombs away !
