Girls Soccer: MRH Knocked Out of District Tournament
Maplewood Richmond Heights wrapped up a tough season Tuesday with a loss to John Burroughs.
The girls soccer season is over for the . The team lost in the first round of district playoffs.
The Blue Devils were in a three-team district tournament with the John Burroughs Bombers and the Brentwood Eagles. The Bombers beat MRH easily on Tuesday, 10-0, ending the Blue Devils' season. MRH finished 0-9 in the South Central A.A. Conference and 1-23 overall.
MRH coach Amber Godfrey said the team struggled with numbers. While the team didn't always field a full team, it competed hard.
"We had a group of good dedicated girls that, everytime we went on the field— whether we were playing with 11 or playing with seven—they went out and played hard," Godfrey said. "Our win-loss record may not show that, but they competed hard on the field."
She said there's a good group of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders coming up, meaning the number of people participating in MRH's program should build.
Brentwood, the No. 1 seed in the district tournament, had a bye. The team will play Burroughs (6-8 overall) at 4:15 p.m. Thursday at John Burroughs, which is hosting the tournament.
The Bombers are 0-1 in conference play.
