CONWAY — Bandon Delgadillo, Henry Terry, Thomas Bullington and Martin Ramirez each hit penalty kicks and goalkeeper Codi Kirby saved a pair as the league champion Bryant Hornets soccer team finished the 6A-Central Conference slate with a 13-1 overall record.

Their first game at State will be Friday at 10 a.m., against the winner of a Thursday game between Fort Smith Southside, the fifth seed from the Central, and Van Buren, the fourth seed from the 6A-West.
