Adairsville soccer teams win at Mt. Zion-Carroll

The Adairsville Tigers boys soccer team earned its first win of the season Wednesday at Mt. Zion-Carroll taking a 3-2 non-region victory.

Kyden Silverberg scored for the Tigers in the first half to help Adairsville to a 1-1 tie at halftime.

After falling behind 2-1, Arthur Leffler knotted the score at 2-2 with a goal on a penalty kick.

With approximately two minutes remaining, Blade Benefield scored the game-winner for the Tigers.

“We were sloppy at times,” said Adairsville coach John Terrell. “We are getting closer to being at full strength but still haven’t played a game with our full preseason starting lineup. Region play begins next week and we hope to have everyone back.”
