WEST POINT – They’re halfway to a county championship.

The Callaway Lady Cavaliers broke open a close game in the second half to beat the Troup Lady Tigers 6-0 on Monday afternoon in West Point.

Callaway will host LaGrange at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, and the winner of the match will be the county soccer champion.

In Monday’s match, Troup hung tough with Callaway in the first half, and it was a 2-0 game at the break.

Savannah Thompson scored twice for Callaway, and Michaela Grier, Chloe McGuffin, Brianne Vaught and Acia Stephens also scored.

Troup had some quality looks at the goal, particularly late in the game when it made some strong pushes, but it was unable to put the ball in the net.

The game was scoreless until, with 16:55 left in the first half, Thompson notched the first of her two goals, and Callaway had a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

It remained a one-goal game until Grier found the net with 4:35 remaining in the half, giving Callaway a 2-0 lead.
