Jacksonville is on a six-game streak of home wins, while Hallsville is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Jacksonville Fightin' Indians will welcome the Hallsville Bobcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Hallsville better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if last week is any indication, that's when Jacksonville really gets things going. Jacksonville never let Tyler get on the board and left with a 3-0 victory on Tuesday. Give the Fightin' Indians' defense some credit: that's the team's 12th straight shutout.
They hit Tyler with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Sophia Romero, Lauren Wade, and Jackie Badillo.
Meanwhile, Hallsville hasn't lost a match since January 28th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Tuesday. They were the clear victor by a 6-0 margin over Marshall. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 110th in Texas, while the Mavericks are ranked 623rd in Texas), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Hallsville has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those seven contests. Jacksonville's win bumped their record up to 17-1.
Jacksonville beat Hallsville 2-0 in their previous matchup back in January. Does Jacksonville have another victory up their sleeve, or will Hallsville turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
