Bellmont took to the turf at Leo’s football stadium and played admirably against a team that is ranked 14th in the state in 2A, ultimately falling 3-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xavior Palacios was busy all night, making five saves in the first half to keep the Braves to just a two-goal deficit at half time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to improve their NE8 record to 2-2, the Braves did pull a goal back in the second half when Evan Sovine scored (see gallery below)<\/em> on a free kick near the corner of the box, beating the Leo keeper at nearly the same time as Gwen Laurent was doing back at the Braves’ home field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was the senior’s first of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palacios was under even more pressure in the second half, saving 9 of 10 attempts shot in his direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellmont’s final four opponents in the regular season should give the team a lift heading into the sectional. The Braves have just two wins so far, but three of the four opponents remaining have losing records. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will host the only winning team in that group Thursday when they play Jay County in Decatur. The Patriots are 6-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
