Leesville Road scored on all three phases of the game Friday night at home against Enloe and was able to grab momentum while piling up a four-touchdown lead in the first half in the Cap 7 opener for both teams.

The Pride scored on the first play of the ball game and it was indicative of how the night would go for Leesville, which cruised to a 42-9 win over the Eagles to start 1-0 in conference play.

Heritage soccer coach Scott Sloan doesn’t like to use inexperience as an excuse, but he couldn’t resist mentioning it during his team’s 5-1 loss to Leesville Road on Wednesday night.

After Pride forward Fernando Castellanos outmuscled Heritage defender Matt Sattler in the air to head in the Pride’s final goal, Sloan summed up the Huskies’ plight perfectly.

“That’s just a difference of 15 to 20 pounds,” Sloan said to Sattler. “That’s all that is.”

Austin Berrios had plenty of incentives for making the game-changing play in the second half of Leesville Road’s 34-14 over Apex.

The Pride struggled early as they were tied with the Cougars at halftime on Thursday night. Berrios didn’t have much to show at that point. Plus, Apex’s Quincy Mangum had returned a kickoff for a 95-yard touchdown.

Leesville Road pounced on costly Green Hope mistakes early, and the Pride's Ryan Mangum ran for three touchdowns as Leesville crushed the Falcons 38-8 at home.
The loss was Green Hope's 29th straight, and this one included some costly blunders early on that led directly to Pride points.
