Good soccer is fun to watch and great soccer is incredible.
Bad soccer is painful and that was the case last week when North Little Rock rolled past Little Rock Southwest, 14-0, in a 6A-Central conference match.
It was a good match for North Little Rock though. The ‘Cats are now 9-1-1 and 2-1 in the conference on the season as they ran up and down the field at Southwest and jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and didn’t look back.
The rout was on from the opening whistle on the pitch and also a very loud whistle from a passing train and from North Little Rock’s perspective, it was pretty great. Starters got pulled relatively early, then those backups were pulled in the first half to make way for the third-string, so everyone got to play and you also got to hang two touchdowns on your opposition, for the highest score of the season, as well as the biggest margin of victory.
Obviously.
In the boys match that followed, North Little Rock again rolled to a big win as the Cats beat Southwest, 5-0.
All schedules have been updated for wins and losses and also revised to reflect postponements and games that have been rescheduled.
All games are, of course, weather permitting and the forecast calls for severe weather on Wednesday of this week with more rain to follow on Friday and Saturday
