The Russell County Laker boys soccer season came to an end Sunday in the opening round of the 4th Region Tournament in Bowling Green.
The Lakers fell to Bowling Green High School by a score of 5 to nothing, eliminating Russell County from postseason play.
Despite the loss, there was a significant individual milestone for the Lakers. Senior goalkeeper Xavion Russell recorded his 500th career save in his final game wearing a Laker uniform.
Russell County entered regional tournament play after capturing the 16th District Championship last week with an 8-to-nothing victory over Monroe County.
Meanwhile, the Russell County Lady Lakers will begin their quest for a regional championship tonight when they take on Logan County at 7:30.
The 4th Region Soccer Tournament is being played at Warren East High School in Bowling Green.
