The Bellmont Braves were focused on the Snider Panthers at Kreager Park on Wednesday, but there were plenty of eyes on phones across the pitch as parents and grandparents kept a watchful eye on a big NE8 showdown between Leo and DeKalb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having beaten Leo on Monday, the Braves were already in the driver’s seat with an unbeaten NE8 record, but Leo’s win now means that the likely worst-case scenario for coach Steve Lee’s team is a three-way split for the title if the Braves do not win out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the field, Emily Barton and the back line once again kept the opposing team off the score sheet. They’ve played over 320 consecutive minutes without allowing a goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Braves won the non-conference affair, 2-0. They will make a longer trip Thursday when they play on the rock-hard pitch at Jay County High School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heritage also scored a win Wednesday, beating New Haven, 3-1. The Patriots have lost just one of their last four games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
