VALDOSTA — The Berrien girls' soccer team saw its season come to an end Thursday night in a loss to Toombs County.
After playing to 1-1 draw in regulation and in overtime, the game moved to penalty kicks. Toombs County made two goals and Berrien was held scoreless.
Prior to Thursday night, Berrien was undefeated at the Class AA leve. The Rebeletts finished the season with just two overall losses — Thursday to Toombs County and last week to Class AAAAA-power Lowndes.
Valdosta’s Rance Gillespie and Lowndes’ Randy McPherson both think their football teams got better during the recent 10 days of spring practice.
Then again, both coaches know their teams have a ways to go before the start of the football season.
