The Bob Jones Patriots will head out to challenge the Columbia Eagles at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Two weeks ago, Bob Jones didn't have quite enough to beat Florence and fell 3-2. While losing is never fun, the Patriots can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama soccer rankings (they are ranked 39th, while the Falcons are ranked fifth).
Meanwhile, everything went Columbia's way against New Hope on Tuesday as Columbia made off with a 9-1 victory. It was an even better day for Alfredo Gordillo as he scored four goals for his team.
Columbia is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 3-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 28 goals over those four matches. Bob Jones' defeat dropped their record down to 5-4-3.
Bob Jones took their win against Columbia when the teams last played back in March of 2021 by a conclusive 8-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bob Jones since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
