In a battle between the Sixth and Seventh districts, Hopkins County Central moved to 4-4-1 Thursday night, winning 8-0 in 42 minutes at Webster County.

Underclassmen did most of the damage, with juniors Lilly Armour and Mary Starks, as well as sophomore Emma Vandiver, all earning braces.

Senior Ashdyn Dugger and junior Gracie Patterson both posted three points behind one goal and one assist.

The Lady Storm led 7-0 at halftime, before scoring four minutes into the second frame to earn the force victory.

Now with eight goals and an assist in nine games, Vandiver leads HCC with 17 points on the year. Armour’s seven goals now have her second on the squad with 14 points, while Starks picked up her second and third scores of the season.

Furthermore, Dugger and Patterson now make it five Lady Storm players with at least two assists this campaign, and nine players have been credited with at least one helper.

With her two assists, senior Elissa Adams now has four on the year — best on the team.

Hopkins County Central has now won 11 straight against Webster County, dating back to 2016. And it was in 2016 when they split, with the Lady Trojans winning 5-4 on August 18, and the Lady Storm winning later that September.

An August 2021 matchup was canceled, due to COVID-19.

NEXT UP: HCC will be at home for a 7 PM faceoff against Muhlenberg County next Monday. Now 4-5 with wins against Butler County, Logan County, Grayson County and Russellville, the Lady Mustangs are led by a stout trio in freshmen duo Addison (eight goals, six assists) and Alana Oates (eight goals, three assists), as well as junior Elle Groves (six goals, five assists). Keeper and freshman Taegan Copous has 37 saves in eight matches, with three shutouts.

Hopkins County Central beat Muhlenberg County at home last year, 4-0, thanks to goals from Vandiver, Jaci Childress, McKenzie Tucker and Taylor Posvic, as well as a shutout from Savannah Barnett.
