On Monday, both teams started their seasons with rough outings as the squads fell to St. Thomas More.
The Lady Tigers fell 10-0 and the boys fell 5-0.
Patterson noted that St. Thomas More had dropped down from Division 1 a year ago and had “a great pool of players.” He said the Cougars and Lady Cougars should be ranked among Division 2’s top 5 when polls come out.
A year ago, St. Thomas More was a quarterfinalist in both boys’ and girls’ soccer.
Morgan City will return to action Saturday as both teams travel to face Lutcher.
