The Circle Thunderbirds will take on the Buhler Crusaders on Monday. Circle's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for five straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
The home team had come away the winner the last four times Circle and McPherson had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Thunderbirds lost 7-0 to the Bullpups on Thursday. While losing is never fun, Circle can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Kansas soccer rankings (they are ranked 89th, while McPherson are ranked 24th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Buhler). Their defense stepped up to hand Winfield a 7-0 shutout on Thursday. Buhler haven't had any issues with Winfield recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive win against them.
Buhler now has a winning record of 5-4-1. As for Circle, their loss dropped their record down to 2-9.
Circle might still be hurting after the 7-0 defeat they got from Buhler in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can the Thunderbirds avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
