Callaway girls stun Morgan County in penalty kick shootout

Cavaliers pull off upset victory on the road after 2-2 draw

Published on Mar. 6, 2026

The Callaway girls soccer team went on the road and pulled off an upset over Morgan County, winning 3-2 in a penalty kick shootout after the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Callaway's Becca Bryan scored a well-taken free kick to equalize in the first half, and freshman Mia Flores gave the Cavaliers the lead late in the second half of extra time before Morgan County answered to send the game to penalties.

Why it matters

This was a big upset win for the Callaway girls soccer team, who lost both region matchups to Morgan County last year. Morgan County finished as the Region 2-2A runner-up and made a trip to the Final Four, so this victory shows Callaway is capable of competing with one of the top teams in their region.

The details

Callaway assistant coach Jeff McGuffin said, "To beat them tonight was freaking awesome. We finally played like we are capable of. If the team played like this every game, we would probably only have one loss on the season." Morgan County opened the scoring in the first half, but Becca Bryan equalized for Callaway with a well-taken free kick late in the first half. The game went to extra time tied 1-1, and Callaway freshman Mia Flores gave the Cavaliers the lead with just over 7 minutes left. However, Morgan County scored in the final minute to send the game to a penalty kick shootout, which Callaway won 3-2.
