Hurricanes tune up for playoffs with win over Sonoraville

The Cartersville boys soccer team defeated Sonoraville Friday night for their 13th straight win heading into the Class AAAA state playoffs.

The Canes’ goals were scored by Victor Guevara and Sean Holton.

Holton's goal came in the first half off an assist from Pedro Ghanem and the 1-0 lead held until the game's 70th minute when the Phoenix scored an equalizer.

Cartersville responded, however, with Guevara's goal off a rebound header three minutes later to keep the win streak alive.

With the loss, Sonoraville fell to 10-7-1.

Cartersville improved to 14-1-2 on the season and will open the Class AAAA state playoffs next Wednesday at home against White County (6-7-3).
