The Athens Golden Eagles are taking a road trip to take on the Southside Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Athens is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Thompson just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Tuesday. They lost 3-0 to the Warriors. Having soared to a lofty 21 goals in the game before, the Golden Eagles' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Meanwhile, Southside put another one in the bag on Monday to keep their perfect season alive. Their defense stepped up to hand Albertville a 4-0 shutout. Give the Panthers' defense some credit: that's the team's fourth straight shutout.
Southside pushed their record up to 5-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 13 goals over those four matchups. As for Athens, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-3.
Everything went Athens' way against Southside when the teams last played back in April of 2024, as Athens made off with a 4-1 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Athens since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
