HONAKER, Va. – Two was the lucky number for Honaker on Tuesday.
Both the boys and girls soccer teams from the school posted 2-1 wins in VHSL Class 1 state quarterfinal matches.
Honaker’s girls edged George Wythe in the opener, while the boys followed with a triumph over the Auburn Eagles in the nightcap.
Head coach Alicia Musick’s team earned their first ever semifinal berth in a hard-fought battle with the Maroons.
“These type games are always super-competitive,” Musick said. “We lost on penalty kicks in the quarterfinals last year.”
Both teams had scoring opportunities in the first half which ended with neither team denting the scoreboard.
