On Friday night the boys varsity soccer team played a hard game against an undefeated Portal team. Jaime Delgado led off the scoring for the Tigers off a perfect assist from Urises Danu. After two handballs in the box by Portal, goal number two came from Urises Danu on a PK followed by Brayan Ajtun for goal number three on another PK. Goal number four came from a perfect free kick from Luis Zamora to Brayan Ajtun who got his head on the ball. Portal was able to tie the game up late in the second half taking the game into double overtime and Penalty Kicks. Seven confident and composed Tigers made their PKs with freshman Luis Munoz scoring the final goal for the Tiger Victory. Claxton Tigers remain undefeated in Region play and moved up to the number one spot as they go into game three against Bryan County on Friday.

CTAE Month Highlight: Brian Croft
My road to CTAE teaching has been a winding one. It began when I was in the military and served as an instructor for the Military Police. This teaching experience prompted me to get my Firefighter Instructor Certification while serving on the Claxton Fire Department. I then pursued a state training position with the Georgia Forestry Commission. Each year that went by gave me more life experience and confidence to pass on the skills that I have learned in public safety. I also saw a need in our community–public safety will need younger generations to fill the void of retirees in the near future. This year I began teaching high school students the Firefighting Pathway courses.
I love the opportunity this position provides me–to leave a legacy of service before self. I want to empower students to help others in time of need.
