Trigg County saw their girls' soccer season end with a 2-1 loss at Lyon County Tuesday night in the semifinals of the Fourth District Tournament.
For the Lady Wildcats, their season ends with a record of 5-8-3, which is the third straight season they've won five games.
"We gave it quite an effort, but came up short," said Lady Wildcat head coach Mike Smith. " They were able to end their season playing their best soccer, which is about all a coach can ask."
Lyon County scored 12 minutes into the game and added their second goal five minutes before the end of the first half for a 2-0 lead.
Trigg County got on the board with 12 minutes left when Brooklyn Thomas scored to draw the Lady Wildcats to within 2-1.
"We had several more chances, but couldn't draw even," Smith said.
Trigg did get some quality minutes from leading scorer Laykn Brooks, who was cleared medically to play after injuring her knee three weeks ago.
"I think it seemed to inspire the girls who finally played a half of soccer with the intensity we have needed all year," Smith said.
Lyon County (13-5) will advance to Thursday's championship game where they will play Caldwell County (15-2-1), who crushed Dawson Springs 6-0 to advance.
As for the Lady Wildcats, they lose two seniors and should bring in several potential contributors from this year JV team in 2008.
"I think the team finally stepped up and showed they are ready to take the next step. Hopefully we can pick up next season right where we left off tonight and finally start putting some more marks in the win column," Smith said.
