Hawkins later took a through ball from Jahdai Prince and scored from just inside the top of the box for a 2-0 lead with 23:20 to go in the first half.

Locust Grove’s Casey Newman made it 2-1 on a left-footed half-volley, following a Wildcat throw-in deep in Bradwell territory, with 9:25 to go in the first half.

Locust Grove carried the play for much of the rest of the half, but Bradwell’s defense maintained the lead.

Tristan Ximello-Casillas converted a Hawkins crossing pass for a goal and a 3-1 lead. Two minutes later, Prince broke free, drawing the Locust Grove keeper out, and tapped a pass to an open Hawkins, who scored easily with a wide open net.

With less than 15 minutes left, Hawkins, with a defender on his right shoulder, muscled in a shot from 12 yards out .

Freshman Taeden Ramirez added a goal for the Tigers.
