Eagles fall to Nolensville

Posted

Shelbyville Central dropped a close 2-1 decision to visiting Nolensville on Thursday night.
“Again, we struggled to generate any momentum early in the game. One of our goals this year was to be better in the opening minutes of the game,” Shelbyville Central coach Chris Fritz said. 
Nolensville scored two goals in the first half, then the Eagles (0-2-1) got a goal by on a penalty kick by freshman Fernando Gallardo.
“The challenge at half time was to make the fans get their moneys worth and we played with more electricity.  Freshman Fernando Gallardo was a stand-out player with a number of tackles and creating havoc with his movement and dribbles up the field. He drew a penalty in the second half off of a good dribble”
“Senior Jake Betzelberger also had a strong game with a number of clever touches and passes to string our attack together. Fritz said. “Ultimately, we are playing some of the best teams in the state and have to keep our heads up for the Smoky Mountain Cup this weekend.”
