Southmont’s Jessica Hale broke the school scoring record in a game with eight goals against South Vermillion on Saturday. The Mountie girls won the game 14-0.
Southmont coach Angela Williams complimented Hale for claiming a place in the school’s history.
“I was happy for Jessica to have the opportunity to make her mark on Southmont’s record board,” Williams said. “(South Vermillion) put several defenders on (Jessica) and she still was able to dribble around them and get to the goal. Jessica is an exceptional person on and off the field.”
