The Jones Trojans will head out on the road to square off against the Southside Seahawks at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. Jones is no doubt hoping to put an end to a four-game streak of away losses.
Jones is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to four goals on Monday, they were much more limited against East Carteret on Wednesday. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 10-1 walloping at the hands of the Mariners. While losing is never fun, Jones can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 481st, while East Carteret is ranked 130th).
Meanwhile, Southside's last contest on Thursday was all defense as neither team scored a goal. They and Camden County finished up their match with a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time Southside has been dealt a draw since back in March.
Jones' defeat dropped their record down to 2-8. Southside's draw gives them a new season record of 5-5-3.
