Justin Schleeper took an assist from Chris Smith and knocked in a goal and J.P. Sanchez shut down the Oscar Smith offense as Lakeland recovered from its recent loss to Nansemond River with a 1-0 defeat of the host Tigers on Thursday.

The Warriors also put up a fight at Deep Creek, tying 1-1 with Aaron Mule scoring the only goal.

The King’s Fork men were edged 1-0 by Western Branch, and all three public school girls teams and Nansemond-Suffolk Academy fell.

Both Warrior squads will attempt to continue their intra-city success (the girls also beat their Lakeland counterparts) on Tuesday when they have their first-ever meeting with the Bulldogs.

The boys will play at River, the girls at Fork.

Lakeland battled with host Norview on Friday evening in a game not finished at press time. The River boys also hit the field at York.
