Knack for the NAC
Got the NAC? If you haven’t, you must not be residing in Bristol, Maplewood or Badger. All three Northeastern Athletic Conference schools have advanced to the Division III boys soccer Austintown district tournament. Tonight, fourth-seeded Bristol and Maplewood will square off in one district semifinal. That game will be played at Fitch Falcon Stadium in Austintown. This is an unexpected matchup since Maplewood upset second-seeded East Palestine in Bulldog country Saturday. It’ll be an interesting game between backyard rivals. Tonight’s other district semifinal is third-seeded South Range vs. top-seeded Badger at Arrowhead Stadium in Girard. The neutral sites are because neither Badger or Maplewood have lights on their fields. Both games start at 7 p.m. I’d go with top-seeded Badger to advance to regionals because of past experience. Speaking of changes of venue, second-seeded Cardinal Mooney and third-seeded Lakeview are not playing tonight at Valley Sports in Struthers.
