Two years removed from a state championship, the Green Forest Tigers have their sights set on another trophy.
The Tigers will open play Thursday, May 11, in the Class 3A state tournament in Harrison. The No. 1 seed from the 3A West, Green Forest will face Hermitage in the opening round.
“We are excited about state,” Green Forest coach Adam Richter said. “I am hoping my players keep up the intensity thatI saw them play with during the last two matches.”
Green Forest lost to Haas Hall Academy of Bentonville 2-0 on Monday, May 1, but bounced back to beat Thaden 4-0 on Tuesday, May 2, and Decatur 6-0 on Friday, May 5.
Senior Izaak Merida scored three goals and Elvin Montoya added two in the win over Decatur.
“The kids showed up ready to play,” Richter said. “They knew it was the last game of the regular season and our seniors wanted to give it their all.”
Green Forest’s girls also will open play in the Class 3A tournament on Thursday in Harrison. The Lady Tigers are a No. 2 seed and will face Baptist Prep of Little Rock at 1 p.m.
“I think we’re ready to give it a go,” Green Forest coach Ashley Wilson said. “We’re going to have tough competition, for sure. No matter who you’re playing, everyone is going to be hungry.”
