PhotoFest! Powell Sweeps Newcastle in 3A Soccer

The 3A Soccer season is underway, and the Powell boys and girls won their season opening matches over the weekend. The Powell girls opened the campaign with an 8-1 win over Newcastle on Friday, so that was a solid effort to start things off. The Panthers have a two-time All-State selection, Ivy Agee, who had 5 goals in that match and is also the placekicker for the Powell football team. The Panthers also have another two-time All-State pick in Coy Erickson, and she also scored in that Newcastle match.

Powell beat Douglas on Saturday 2-0, so this group will be formidable. Last season, the Panthers took 3rd at the 3A State Tournament. Newcastle has started the season 0-2.

The Powell boys' team qualified for the State Tournament in 2024, but they'll have to replace a couple of All-State players. The Panthers battled Newcastle and iffy weather on Friday and prevailed 3-0. Powell received a pair of goals from Braxton Batt and one from Cody Fisher.

The Panthers finished the weekend with a 2-1 road win over Douglas on Saturday, so they're 2-0 in the season. Newcastle is looking for their first win of the season, as they sit at 0-2.
