Moises Drumond shouted from the sideline.
The Soddy-Daisy soccer coach wanted to run as much time off the clock in the final moments and keep possession for as long as possible so East Hamilton couldn’t earn a quick-strike goal and tie the game.
Not everybody listened.
But the end-of-game strategy worked and the Lady Trojans remained undefeated in District 5-AAA competition with a 2-1 win over the host Lady Hurricanes.
“At the start of the week, us, East Hamilton and Walker Valley all had the chance to win the district,” Drumond said. “So it was very important to get this win.”
