The Trion Bulldogs Varsity Soccer team is set to kick off their season this afternoon with a highly anticipated matchup against the Ridgeland Panthers. The game is scheduled to start at 5 PM at Ridgeland’s home field.

The Panthers are eager to bounce back after a disappointing road opener last Friday, where they narrowly lost to LaFayette with a score of 1-0. This defeat marked the beginning of their season on a sour note, dropping their record to 0-1 as they seek redemption against the Bulldogs.

In contrast, the Trion Bulldogs come into this game with a clean slate and high hopes, following a stellar season last year that saw them finish with an impressive 11-3 record. The Bulldogs have a history of success against the Panthers, having dominated their previous matchup in February 2024 with a resounding 7-0 victory. However, as the two teams face off this time, Trion will not have the comfort of a home-pitch advantage, which may complicate their quest for another decisive win.

Good luck to the Trion Bulldogs as they take on Ridgeland.
