HILLSBORO -- The Sikeston Bulldogs shut out the Festus Tigers on Tuesday night in their first pool play game at the Hillsboro Invitational tournament.
After adjustments needed making to start the second half, the Bulldogs broke the scoreless tie in a big way. Evan Underwood and Grant Hinton each scored two goals with assists from Clayton Kinder, Tyler Neal, Hunter Williams and Chase Baron.
"It was good for us to come out and play well," Sikeston head coach Doyle Noe said. "Especially after last weekend at Heath."
Sikeston will play Perryville tonight and St. Francis Borgia on Thursday to round out their pool.
