The Pope Greyhounds will challenge the Discovery Titans at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Pope's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for four straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Things were looking good for Pope after they put the first goals on the board last Tuesday, but unfortunately for them things went downhill from there. They fell just short of Lassiter by a score of 2-1. While losing is never fun, Pope can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia soccer rankings (they are ranked 128th, while Lassiter are ranked 26th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Discovery). They walked away with a 4-2 win over Mountain View last Tuesday. Manza Masamuna was a massive factor in the win as he booted in three goals all by himself.
Discovery's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-7. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored nine goals over those three matches. As for Pope, their loss dropped their record down to 6-8.
