By Duncan NixonCorrespondentIn a closely contested game, the Fluco girls soccer team was outscored but not really outplayed on April 24. The first half was an even match-up as both Fluvanna and the Goochland Bulldogs had some scoring opportunities that they could not convert. With time running out in the half, and possibly with time actually run out, the Bulldogs put the ball into the net. The referee immediately blew his whistle signaling the end of the half.

By Duncan NixonCorrespondentIt is an extreme understatement to say that the Fluco boys’ soccer team is off to a strong start. They have played three games, as of this article, and they have outscored their opponents 20-1. Obviously, they are 3-0. In their most recent game, on March 27, they hosted Madison County. The Flucos were in control the entire game as their offense consistently pressured the Mountaineers, and their defense disrupted all scoring attempts.

The first round on Saturday was completed on a drizzly, dreary day. The Sunday round went off early in an attempt to finish 18 holes before the predicted nasty weather rolled in.

By Duncan NixonCorrespondentIn a pre-season interview, Fluco baseball Coach Joel Gray commented that his pitching staff would be good, if they didn’t allow too many walks. Twelve walks in seven innings are too many walks. The Wilson Memorial Green Hornets spoiled the Flucos home opener on March 18 by scoring ten runs to five runs for the Flucos. Seven of the Green Hornets runs were scored by players who reached base on walks and another who scored was hit by a pitch.

By Duncan NixonCorrespondentThe Fluco baseball team won the Class 3 State championship in 2019, just before COVID. Last year with a roster that coach Joel Gray described as “youthful, but very talented” the team went to the State quarterfinals and posted an 18-6 record. This year Gray is looking to get back to the State final four, which will be played at Fluvanna. Of course, reaching the State finals is a lofty goal and anything can happen in a long season.
