Soccer squad sits atop area standings

The stakes were high. The winner of Thursday's varsity boys soccer match between Tallassee and Brewbaker Tech in Montgomery would take sole possession of first place in the Class 5A/Area 3 race.

Tallassee took care of business winning 2-0 improving to 7-4-2 overall and 3-0 in area play.

All-state junior Irvin Delfin scored both THS goals in a game that was not pretty according to Tallassee head coach Matthew Tarpley.

"My boys did not play well and still won," he said. "(We're) 3-0 in the area and in the driver's seat."

The win avenged a couple of one-goal setbacks to the Rams last year that ultimately kept Tallassee's best team record-wise out of the playoffs.

Now the Tigers get time off for Spring Break. The next match is March 26 against Russell County.
