The Dyer County girls’ soccer team ended a busy week on the pitch with a strong performance, dominating Covington for a 9-0 mercy-rule that ended in the 52nd minute on Thursday evening in Newbern.

It didn’t take long for the Lady Choctaws to find the net as freshman striker Addisyn Trout put the ball in the goal in the fourth minute to give Dyer County a 1-0 lead.

Minutes later, Peyton Murphy got on the board in the Lady Choctaws 9th minute to make it a 2-0 game.

Moments later, a foul in the box led to a penalty kick which was taken by Jenna Claire Anderson. The Lady Choctaw found the back of the net to push the Dyer County lead to 3-0 in the 13th minute.

The first-half scoring continued in the 21st minute with a surprise goal by Grace Webb, who sent the ball down the field and found the goal when the Covington keeper misread the ball and let it go over her head for Webb’s score. The sophomore’s goal put Dyer County on top 4-0.


Ava Pearson rounded out the first-half scoring with a goal in the 34th minute to put the Lady Choctaws on top 5-0 at the half.

Much like the first 40 minutes, it didn’t take long for the Lady Choctaws to score in the second half, getting a Pearson goal in the 41st minute to push the Dyer County lead to 6-0.

Alayna Leedy got on the board four minutes later as a foul in the box resulted in the junior’s penalty kick to put Dyer County on top 7-0 in the 45th minute.

After Leedy picked up her second goal on the game in the 52 minute, Pearson completed her hat trick with a goal in the 54th minute to end the game with a nine-goal Lady Choctaw win.

The Lady Choctaws return to action on Tuesday, Sept. 1 when Dyer County hosts Brighton at 6 p.m.
