Calhoun fell victim to Northwest Whitfield and their airtight defense on Thursday. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bruins. While losing is never fun, Calhoun can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia soccer rankings (they are ranked 244th, while Northwest Whitfield are ranked 66th).
Meanwhile, LaFayette was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They lost 3-0 to Heritage. The game snapped a strange streak: the last four times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
Calhoun has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-8 record this season.
