Statesboro battled through a back-and-forth first half of action, but couldn’t keep up the pace late in the game. Perry broke a scoreless tie early in the second half, then poured it on in rolling to a 3-0 victory in Wednesday’s first round matchup of the Class AAAA tournament at Womack Field. Daniel Ward scored a pair of goals and Bryce Stuckmeyer added another while the Blue Devils (8-10) were never able to crack the defense of the Panthers.
