from Mike Fanning for GreensboroSports.com
Eastern Guilford defeated Southwest Guilford 6-0 in a defensive battle during the Sweet 16 round of the ladies flag football tournament in Concord. It was a rematch of the recent Guilford County Championship.
The lone score came in the first half on a long touchdown pass by the Wildcats. For the rest of the game, both defenses dominated. Anchored by #22 Riley Hyde, the Cowboys’ defense kept their team in contention, securing a late fourth-quarter defensive stop on an Eastern Guilford fourth-down conversion attempt to regain possession.. The offense then drove down the field, getting inside the red zone for a chance to tie. However, on 4th and goal from the 4-yard line with 30 seconds left, the Wildcats intercepted a pass headed toward the endzone, securing the 6-0 win.
