McMinn Central soccer coach Bill McConkey isn’t exactly sure how many regular-season district championships his Chargerettes have won. Whatever the number might be, he can most assuredly add one more to that total.
In a clash of the two District 5-A/AA undefeated teams Thursday evening, the visitors scored two first-half goals on shots from distance and went on to defeat 10th-ranked Boyd-Buchanan 2-0 in a weather-shortened game.
There were four lightning delays, totaling an hour. The first started around 8:15 and the second occurred right as the players had returned to the field to resume play around 8:45. The game was finally called at 9:15 with about 19 minutes of game time remaining, much to the dismay of Lady Bucs coach Dustin Walker.
“It is disappointing, but in the end there really wasn’t anything we could do about it,” said Walker, who initially refused to call an end to it.
