The home team had come away the winner the last five times Claiborne and Volunteer had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Bulldogs came up short against the Falcons on Tuesday, falling 8-0. While losing is never fun, Claiborne can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee soccer rankings (they are ranked 324th, while Volunteer are ranked 156th).
Meanwhile, Union County had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2 goals) and they went ahead and made it six on Tuesday.
