Pirates play to draw
PORT CHARLOTTE — Port Charlotte High School struck early and got a strong performance from goalkeeper Leslie Baeza on Tuesday, but Braden River salvaged a 1-1 tie in a District 4A-11 match.
Port Charlotte (2-1-1, 2-1-1) seemed primed to run Braden River out of a rainy Pirate Cove in the first 10 minutes after Michelle Atherly willed herself to the goal in the fifth minute before putting a shot past Braden River goalie Kat Elliott to give Port Charlotte a 1-0 lead.
