In JV action, JT defeated Huntsville 1-0, with Erica Carmona doing the scoring.

Red Raiders fall to Kilgore

LONGVIEW — Robert E. Lee dropped its second match in as many days, 1-0, to Kilgore Friday at the Longview Soccer Tournament at Lobo Stadium.

Lee coach Marty Germany said the Red Raiders (3-2) played without a couple starters, including leading scorer Lumi Kaba, and it caused some offensive woes for a team that had averaged over three goals per game.

Kilgore grabbed the only goal of the contest on a free kick that knuckled past Lee keeper Henry Plancarte.

REL will face Mount Pleasant at 12:30 p.m. today at Longview Soccer Complex.
