Coming off a long road trip earlier in the week to Arlington, the Lady Trojans returned home and made short work of visiting Covington, defeating the Lady Chargers 9-0 via mercy rule on Thursday at the Dyersburg Soccer Complex.


Dyersburg got on the board early and often in the first half as Haddy Manneh scored the first of her six goals during the early moments of the first half.

That goal was just the first of four first-half goals as the Lady Trojan sophomore sensation powered Dyersburg to a 4-0 lead late in the first half before senior Kathleen Harrell added a late goal to put the black and gold on top 5-0 at the half.

The Lady Trojans didn’t need the full 40 minutes of the second half to put away the Lady Chargers as Manneh scored two more times to give her six goals in all on Thursday while Harrell added another. Dyersburg got one more goal from Maria Vazquez to seal the mercy rule win for the Lady Trojans.

Dyersburg returns to action next week when the Lady Trojans host the University School of Jackson on Monday at 6 p.m.

On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
