In a Monday night Tallapoosa County matchup, whoever played the cleaner game took the win. And that distinction went to Horseshoe Bend, who took home a 3-1 victory over Reeltown in the non-area match.

The Rebels found themselves out to an early lead against the Generals, roaring out to a 6-0 start with a vicious backrow attack from Paisley Burdette accounting for half of those alone. But then things started to even out a little as the Generals chipped away at the lead.
