“That kept us in the game, without question.”
Fitzgerald was pleased with his team’s performance in the first game of the season for both teams. Fitzgerald said it’s just a matter of putting everything together.
“(It wasn’t) a terrible start,” he said. “We still need to work on a few things. We had moments of brilliance, but we need to just put 80 minutes together.”
In the junior varsity game, the Cards suffered a 1-0 loss to Scott County.
Jarrod Maggard had four saves for Clark.
“We just didn’t finish our chances, and that was the difference,” Clark junior varsity coach Daniel Cowan said.
