Games To Watch: Unbeaten soccer starts meet in Florence and Southaven
Brandon and Florence bring unbeaten girls soccer records—and defenses yet to concede—to their meeting in Florence on Tuesday, November 3. Brandon is 4–0 with 18 goals scored and none allowed; Florence is 2–0 with 15 scored and none allowed. The scheduled 5:30 p.m. CST kickoff puts those early defensive records against each other.
The boys follow at Florence at 7 p.m. CST, with Brandon 1–0 and Florence 2–0. Another meeting of unbeaten boys teams comes later in DeSoto County, where Center Hill takes a 2–0 record to 3–0–1 Southaven for a 7:45 p.m. CST start.
Florence hosts unbeaten Brandon teams
The girls matchup offers a direct test of clean-sheet starts. Brandon has kept opponents scoreless through four reported wins, while Florence has done so through two. Neither has a loss or draw in its listed record, making the meeting an early comparison of two winning starts.
The boys have the same unbeaten-record theme on a smaller sample: Brandon has one reported victory and Florence two. The match is listed as non-district, so the immediate interest is how those opening results hold up against another unbeaten opponent.
Center Hill’s attack meets unbeaten Southaven
Center Hill has scored 16 goals without conceding in its 2–0 start. Southaven’s 3–0–1 record brings a different kind of unbeaten run, with a draw alongside its wins. The Mustangs’ scoring form gives the late boys matchup a clear point of interest as they visit the Chargers.
St. Andrew’s returns to the road at Germantown
St. Andrew’s Episcopal visits Germantown in Madison at 5:30 p.m. CST, one night after a 5–0 win at Northeast Jones. The Saints enter 3–0 with 14 goals scored and none allowed; Germantown is listed at 0–0. The question for St. Andrew’s is whether that defensive start continues on another road trip.
