The Morgan County girls soccer team is headed back to the Elite Eight for a second consecutive year. The No. 1 seed Lady Bulldogs (16-1-1) knocked off No. 4 seed Long County 5-0 last week before defeating No. 3 seed Jackson 7-1 Monday to advance to the next round of the Class AAA state playoffs.

Morgan County girls soccer split two games with non-region opponents last week to end its 2023 season. The Lady ‘Dogs faced two Class AAAAA teams in Clarke Central and Ola at Bill Corry Stadium.

Last week, the Morgan County girls soccer team did something in its lopsided Region 4-AAA win over Cross Creek that longtime head coach Anne Stamps had “never seen before.” The Lady ‘Dogs won 14-0 over the Lady Razorbacks, with 13 different players scoring a goal.

After a disappointing loss to Cherokee Bluff in the Elite Eight round of the Class 3A state playoffs last year, Morgan County girls’ soccer has started out the 2023 season with an 8-0 record. The Lady Bulldogs learned a lot from that loss last year and have been on a tear as of late.
