Central High's Boys’ Soccer won the school’s first soccer tournament over the weekend. The team played in the Piney Woods tournament in Covington where they faced H.L. Bourgeois, Pearl River, and Covington High. This was a round robin tournament and the winner was based on points earned. In the first game CHS had a great defensive stand and only allowed H.L. Bourgeois four shots on goal where Drake Cowart made all the saves. Trevor Harding and Stephen Pursiful had the two goals in the 2-0 win. The second game with Pearl River saw CHS open up the offense with a 6-0 win. Goals were scored by Dylan Manzella(2), John Fralick(3), and David Gutierrez. Goalies Drake Cowart and David Gutierrez along with the defense kept Pearl River from scoring again. In the third and last game of the day CHS had slowed a little and lost to Covington 3-1. Trevor Harding had the only goal for CHS. This is going to be a very exciting soccer season for CHS. We would like to invite the City of Central to come out and support these young men. Home games are played at the stadium and start at 6 p.m.
