The Harrison
Central Lady Huskies competed in yet another busy week with three games, with the first against Edison taking place at Wagner Field in
Cadiz.
Prior to the
game, the Harrison Central senior players were recognized, walking across the field with members
of their respective families. This year's seniors
include Grace Miller, Hayden Bittinger, Emma Patterson and Leanna Scott.
Prior to the
half, Patterson fought her way past the defense to score on an
assist from Morgan Stock. Harrison Central’s defense was able to hold the
Wildcats scoreless from there, capping off Patterson and the seniors' special night with the 1-nil win.
Patterson, a
captain and playing her fourth year, was named player of the match. Lillianne Smith added
seven saves to her yearly total.
