Hibriten and Watauga are an even 3-3-4 against one another since March of 2017, but likely not for long. The Panthers will challenge the Pioneers at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hibriten is coming into the match hot, having won their last four games.
On Tuesday, Hibriten beat Ashe County 3-1. Given Hibriten's advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 82nd, while Ashe County are ranked 211th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Hibriten hit Ashe County with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Addison Brookshire, Amelia McCarty, and Bella Hawkins.
Meanwhile, after soaring to four goals the game before, Watauga was a bit more limited in their contest on Tuesday. They fell just short of Alexander Central by a score of 1-0. The shutout was out of character for Watauga seeing as the last time the team failed to score was back in February.
Hibriten's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-4-2. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 12 goals over those three games. As for Watauga, they moved to 8-5-1 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Hibriten beat Watauga by a goal in their previous matchup back in April, winning 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
