The Wakulla War Eagle soccer team concluded its regular season on Saturday, Jan. 23 with a win against Port St. Joe.

Playing a game that was postponed from earlier in the week due to bad weather, WHS hosted PSJHS for the final home game of the year.

The graduating class of 2010 was recognized during halftime as eight seniors were escorted from midfield by family and friends, through an aisle of teammates, down to meet Coach Bob Wallace at the sidelines.

Morgan Henry, defensive captain Rhett Harvey, Wayne Murray, Liam Daniels, Blake Howell, offensive captain Gage Martin, game captain Dustyn Robison and Josh Oliver were honored with a ceremony where they received personalized gifts to help them always remember their high school soccer experience.

The home team was able to enjoy the halftime festivities without distraction as they amassed a 2-0 lead in the first 40 minutes of play.

Martin scored on a partial breakaway early in the game. Then, just before the half, returning player John Lemon made a beautiful cross to Dalton Norman who was able to score a goal amid mass confusion in the heart of the Shark defense.

The second half would see several shots, but no goals and the game ended with the same score as halftime. The War Eagles now turn their attention to the post-season play.

“Trying to remain healthy and focused this far into the season is tough, but we’ve got the momentum of closing with a win and we are going to ride it all the way into the playoffs,” said Coach Wallace.

Wakulla will travel Friday, Jan. 29 back to Panama City to battle for the title of Region 2, Class 4A district champions.
