On Thursday, the Colquitt County junior varsity girls were down 1-0 at the half and 2-0 early in the second half against Thomas County Central.
But with 14 minutes left, there was a foul in the box and Kamila Del Angel converted the penalty kick to pull the Lady Packers to within one.
Then, 90 seconds later, the Lady Packers got the ball to forward Emily Portillo, who laid it off to Kinlee Luna who scored to tie the game with 13 minutes left.
“We had several shots from Dru McLeod, Kinlee Luna and Melissa Nunez, but got unlucky,” coach Deliza Gachuz said. “Our defense was held down by Alexia Luna, who played center back, and our keeper Genesis Martinez.”
The junior varsity boys dominated the Yellow Jackets.
“We had another night of spreading the goals around,” said coach Andy Chapura.
Yonathan Villeda scored the first goal and Victor Morales got the second as the Packers went to halftime up 2-1.
Carlos Valencia-Garcia put the Packers up 3-1.
Aiden Nunez converted a penalty kick to make it 4-1 and Eddy Gloria Jimenez got a goal to close out the scoring.
Both Colquitt County junior varsity teams are 2-0-1.
They will be back at Packer Park on Thursday, February 27, to play host to Lowndes.
