HUNTSVILLE — Saint James girls soccer rolled from the start in the Class 1A-3A state final game against Donoho.

With goals from Brightwell, Molly Phillips and Kaylin Corley the Trojans jumped on Donoho before the game's first hydration break. It was a lead the Trojans never relinquished.

It was the final game for the Trojans standout Brightwell. She set the AHSAA all-time career goal mark earlier this season, when she crossed the 233 goal mark in her career in a win over Alabama Christian Academy.
It was also the last game in Class 1A-3A for the Trojans, who are moving up to Class 4A due to the competitive balance factor. After making the state finals for the last two seasons, the Trojans accumulated enough points to force a move up.
