TEMPERANCE -- After a rain-riddled, scoreless first half, the Huron High School girls soccer team and its Southeastern Conference Red Division foe Temperance Bedford were both looking for an edge.

The River Rats claimed it when Jordan Chick scored a goal 21 minutes into the second half. It was all Huron needed in its 1-0 road victory Tuesday.

Huron goalkeeper Michele Freed, who finished with six saves in the shutout, staved off an early scoring opportunity by the Kicking Mules.

"(Freed) actually was able to come out and tip the ball over the cross bar," Huron coach Reese Richardson said. "(Bedford) got a breakaway, Michelle came out, got the ball and that gave all of us a sigh of relief."

From then on, it was quiet until Chick headed a ball into the corner of Bedford's net off a free kick.

"Overall, we did a great job just keeping possession," Richardson said.

The River Rats (8-3-1, 5-1-0) had eight shots on goal, while Bedford had six.

Richardson said Huron is seeing improvements in teamwork and ball possession that they worked on earlier this season.

"We've taken our share of knocks early," he said. "But it was to prepare for the postseason and our SEC Red games."

Father Gabriel Richard 96.5, Madison Heights Bishop Foley 25.5: The Fighting Irish finish a perfect 4-0 in the Catholic League to win the Catholic League AA Sectional after routing the Ventures in a league meet. "We've won it the last few years," said FGR coach Don Canham, who has other accolades on his mind. "Right now, we're trying to get people qualified for regionals and the state meet."
