The Clinton Arrows Soccer team took another step in the right direction on Thursday night as they defeated the Brandon Bulldogs 8-1 at Arrow Field.  The win moves the Arrows to 5-0 on the season.

The Arrows did not waste any time on Thursday as Junior Erick Martinez scored in the 1st minute of the match.  With a beautiful touch around the keeper, Martinez gave himself an open net and the Arrows a very early lead.  Senior Keaton Cole added to the score in the 15th minute off of a long throw-in on an assist from Senior Brice Nunnery.  Sophomore Wes Ambrose added a goal in the 30th minute to send the score to 3-0.  Nunnery scored a goal of his own in the 39th minute with an assist from Senior Logan Cole, and the 1st half ended with a 5th goal for the Arrows from Senior Hayden Wolfe that was assisted by Senior Logan Bryant.

The 2nd half was more of the same as Martinez scored quickly again out of halftime, making the score 6-0 in the 42nd minute on another assist from Logan Cole.  Sophomore Justin Singleton gave the Arrows their 7th goal in the 73rd minute with an assist from Demarcus Dillard, and Logan Cole scored a goal of his own in the 77th minute on an assist from Cody Barnett.

Head Coach Tyler Wade was proud of his team for improving over the first 5 games of the season.  "Good to see the boys put it all together this week. We started the season a little slow, but have definitely started to get our form back the last two games. Four games in 6 days is never easy, but we managed it well, while raising our level of play. Excited to get a little break over the weekend, get our legs back and get ready for Southaven on Tuesday."

The Arrows return to action at Arrow Field on Tuesday night when they host the Chargers of Southaven High School at 7:15.
