WILLIAMSBURG \u2014 Whitley County\u2019s unbeaten start continued Tuesday as the Lady Colonels overcame an early deficit to defeat Bell County, 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lady Colonels improved to 3-0 after turning things around in the second half behind two goals from Jerrica Shepherd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bell County struck first and carried a 1-0 advantage into halftime, but Whitley County responded after the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTough first half, but the Lady Colonels refused to stay down,\u201d Whitley County coach Becky Prewitt said. \u201cThe Cats got one past us early, but we flipped the switch after the break and came out determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJerrica Shepherd battled through and delivered two second-half goals to spark the attack. Keli Ayers put on a clinic and earned Player of the Game \u2014 absolute standout performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shepherd\u2019s two goals proved to be the difference as the Lady Colonels completed the comeback and kept their perfect start to the season intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prewitt also credited Kierra Mullins and Keira Cheek for their performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKierra Mullins controlled the midfield and kept pushing us forward, while Keira Cheek locked it down defensively,\u201d Prewitt said. \u201cProud of this group for showing heart and fighting until the final whistle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
