KOSCIUSKO —

The Kosciusko Whippets boys’ soccer team placed second in Region 4-4A behind winner Florence when they defeated Richland 1-0 on Friday night. Teams in Region four are Kosciusko, Germantown, Richland and Florence.

On Thursday night that was senior night the Whippets defeated Louisville 4-1. The seniors on the team are Taylor Gibson, Steven Ables, Ben Patterson and Alejandro Vega.

Ables had three shots and two goals, Brodie Threet took two shots, Vega had four shots and one goal and two assists, Patterson took five shots, scored one goal and had one assist, Jose Martinez took four shots, and Jabri Selmon took two shots and had one assist. Charlie Plunkett, goalie, had three saves.

In the Richland game, Kosciusko won a very physical game with Richland to reach the playoffs and will have played at Pontotoc (7 p.m.) in the first round of the state playoffs on Tuesday. Ables had three shots and one goal, Jose Martinez had one shot and Alan Vasquez had two shots. Plunkett had two saves. “We had a lot of scoring opportunities that we missed out on,” said Kosciusko head boys soccer coach Dustin Horne. “We capitalized when it really matter. The guys played hard. The defense was a stone wall. They cleared through balls and contested any crosses. These guys played their hearts out and I’m proud of them.”

This will be the first time Kosciusko has been to the playoffs since 2001.
