Syrupmakers advance in playoffs

The Cairo Syrupmaker soccer team advanced to Round Two of the state AAA playoffs Friday night with a 4-0 shutout of Troup County. Troup County was coached by a former Syrupmaker coach and educator, Glenn Quiggle.
 
The Syrupmakers got two goals from Mose Willis, one from Joel Bass and one from John Holt to pick up the playoff win.  The Makers scored two goals in the first half and two in the second.  Sound defense by the Makers kept the Tigers scoreless.
 
Cairo will play again on Wednesday in Cairo against a team to be determined later. Check out the April 29th edition of The Cairo Messenger for complete details on Cairo’s big soccer win.
