Game #8 - Pope 3/22/07 (W 1 - 0) WOW!!! Kell Lady Longhorns traveled to Pope's stadium to battle the Greyhounds and came away with a hard fought victory. The Kell Longhorns were serious about this game and it showed. This is one of the best games that they have ever played. The Greyhound's were ranked no. 1 in our region but they could not find their way past the Longhorns. Due to a lack of officiating, this game became very physical. Pope's team is very big but they were not able to use their size to intimidate the Longhorns. The game stayed very even during the first half with both teams executing well and making runs on the Goal. JoJo Smith played a great game in goal with many good saves, glad your back. Late in the first half, Tasia Williams made a long run from the Kell zone and dribbled the ball the length of the field. She blew right by the Pope Defender. It was a fantastic run. Once clear of the defender, she executed a perfectly placed crossing pass at the feet of a streaking Jasmine Noel who pounded the ball into the back of the net. This was the only score of the game. Pope tried to use their size to muscle out a score late in the game. The Kell defense never weakened. On one play JoJo was out of position after making a great save. The net was open and Pope attempted a shot that was blocked by an ever present Rachel Shelton, great save. Also having an excellent game this week was Jordan Springfield. When ever Pope started to mount an attack, she came though to shut them down. WAY TO GO LADIES!!!

Game #7 - Sprayberry 3/13/07 (W 2-0) This was a very physical game with a great deal of contact initiated by both teams. The Kell Women were not intimated by the play and worked hard to secure this victory. The half ended with no goals scored. Kell came out in the second half and raised their level of play. The first goal was scored by Ashley Hofmeister off of a beautiful crossing pass from Lauren Scott. Lauren went one on one against the Sprayberry defender deep in the corner and beat her to make the pass. The second score was created much the same way. Tasia Williams beat a defender deep in the corner and executed a crossing pass to Carolyn Craddock who's shot was deflected by the goalie. Christina Robinson finished the play by sending the ball into the back of the net for the second score.

Game #6 - Roswell 3/9/07 (W 5-2) Kell can roaring back from their frustrating loss at Milton to display a dominate game against Roswell. Roswell put a scare into the Longhorns by scoring first while only a few minutes into the game. This seemed to motivate the Kell players and they never looked back. One each goal was scored by Carolyn Craddock, Theresa Henry and Devon Toby. Christina Robinson had a strong night with two goals scored. The women were quick to the ball and dominated most of the play.

Game #5 - Milton 3/6/07 (L PK) This game finished in a 2 - 2 tie. The final regulation goal was made by Kell to tie the game with almost no time remaining. The game ended in a tie. Unfortunately Kell's luck ran out in the shoot off. They lost on the third round of penality kicks.

Game #4 - Chattahoochee 3/1/06 (PPD) The game was postponed due to thunderstorms. The schedule will be updated if a new date is defined.

Game # 3 - Wheeler - 2/27/07 (W 1-0) The Lady Longhorns played a tough match at Wheeler High School and came away with a well deserved win. They are now 2-0 overall. The Wheeler game was their first region game. The year is off to a strong start for the Women's Varsity.

Game # 1- North Cobb - 2/15/07 (W 3-0) The Kell Longhorn Women started the season on a positive note with a convincing win against North Cobb High.

The Kell defense controlled the game on our end of the field and prevented any sort of attach against our goal. The scoring was evenly shared by all the positions with one goal each from Jasime Noel, Christina Robinson and Rachel Webster.
