Havelock hasn't had much luck against J.H. Rose recently, but that could start to change on Thursday. The Rams will head out to challenge the Rampants at 6:00 p.m.
Having struggled with four losses in a row, Havelock turned things around against West Carteret on Wednesday. Neither they nor the Patriots could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked Havelock's first draw of the season.
Serenity Greggs was the only thing that stood between Havelock and a shutout considering she scored both of Havelock's goals, bringing her season total up to eight goals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask J.H. Rose). Their defense stepped up to hand South Central a 7-0 shutout on Tuesday. Given J.H. Rose's advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 67th, while South Central are ranked 441st) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
J.H. Rose's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-2-3. The road wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 22 goals over those five contests. Havelock's draw gives them a new season record of 5-6-1.
Havelock might still be hurting after the 8-0 defeat they got from J.H. Rose when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Can the Rams avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
