Ozark defies soccer critics with scoring barrage
Buy PhotoCritics say soccer is slow-paced and lacks scoring.
The critics haven’t seen Ozark’s girls soccer team.
The Tigers put up six of their 116 goals on the season in a 6-2 win over Springfield Catholic on Thursday at Ozark High School. The sheer volume of goals is already a school record with two regular season games remaining.
Freshman Jadyn Easley leads Ozark (15-2) with 32 goals and kicked off an avalanche of scoring in the fifth minute against Catholic when she buried a centered ball from the right side.
“We knew we had to keep pushing or (Catholic) would get back,” Easley said.
