Inconsistent play coming down the stretch is driving Trigg County boys' soccer coach Josh Nichols crazy.
Trigg County lost to St. Mary 2-1 Thursday -- a game they know they should have won. Trigg County is 6-6-3, but have a record of 1-2-1 over the last four games. They play at University Heights Saturday before their district tournament opener Monday against Lyon County.
"They just outplayed us and wanted it more. We aren't a good enough team to win games in which we don't play hard. We should have learned that by now, but I guess we haven't," a frustrated Nichols said afterward.
Jeremy Stamps scored a goal to give Trigg a 1-0 lead. St. Mary (3-13-1) tied the game heading into intermission and scored the game-winner early in the second half.
"They scored early in the second half, and even though we dominated possession in the second half, we didn't generate very many good chances. They packed everyone into the box on defense after they took the lead and we couldn't get through," Nichols said.
The JV did pick up a 3-1 win.
The Wildcats will close out the regular season Saturday at University Heights in a 3pm game in Hopkinsville.
