MOULTRIE — The Colquitt County boys soccer team was defeated 5-1 by Houston County on Thursday in the finals of the Region 1-AAAAA tournament, held in Tifton.

The match was originally scheduled to be played in Moultrie, but Houston County was unable to travel that far because of the 100-mile limit rule.

Colquitt defeated Coffee 3-0 and Valdosta 2-1 in penalty kicks to reach the finals and finishes the season with a 6-8 record.

Houston led 2-0 at the half and was up 5-0 before the Packers scored a goal. Coach Ashley Hill said it was unclear which player scored the goal.

“Even when we were down, nobody gave up,” Hill said. “They’ve got nothing to hang their heads about. I’m proud of them.”
