BLADENBORO – Junior Makayla Wright fired in both of West Bladen’s overtime goals to record a ‘Hat Trick’ plus one of 4 goals and lead the Lady Knights to a 7-5 Southeastern Athletic Conference girls soccer double overtime victory over Red Springs Friday night.
“Makayla really stepped up and made huge contributions to help seal the win,” said Lady Knight Coach Kristen Parker. “She would definitely get player of the game in my book – defensively and offensively.”

The game was tied 1-1 at halftime and 5-5 at the end of regulation. “Truly an intense game with costly mistakes at the end of the 2nd half,” noted Parker.
Wright also assisted on the other 3 West Bladen goals. Senior Hannah Hester knocked in a goal in each half for the Lady Knights. Freshman Jazmy Funez Aranda drilled in the other goal for West. Sophomores Brookee Singletary and Eliana Padilla dished out assists on two of Wright’s goals.
