Prep Soccer

Cullman’s varsity boys soccer team secured a 2-0 victory against Decatur on Wednesday. 

Cort McNeel collected both goals for the Bearcats, who improved to 2-0 in Class 6A, Area 14 play. 

Wyatt Harris recorded the clean sheet, while Carter Caffey and Connor Swann each had an assist. 

“It was a fun game,” Cullman coach Will Drake said. “The student section was out with us. Cort has hit a rhythm in the last few games, and both his goals tonight looked like magic. It’s good to see a player with confidence. Wyatt kept us ahead with a couple of big saves, and the midfield showed their ability to adapt and put in work on both sides of the ball. It was a great game all around.”
