Yellow Jackets sting Jaguars in dominating win

The varsity Yellow Jacket soccer team has experienced every possible outcome of a match and are only 3 matches deep in their 2023 schedule. Hayesville checked the final box on Wednesday, Sept. 14 when they defeated Tri County Early College.

It was a rough start to the season as the Jackets were shutout 6-0 by Blue Ridge Early College. Things got a little better when Hayesville took on Cherokee, a contest that ended in a 1-1 tie. When Tri County came to town, the Jackets were dominant.

After managing just 1 goal in the two previous matches, Hayesville attacked with 7 goals and the Jackets were able to limit the damage from the Jaguars and picked up their first victory of the season by the final of 7-2.

Next up for Hayesville is a Smoky Mountain Conference match against Swain County on Monday, Sept. 19 in Bryson City. Start time is set for 6 p.m.
