SALEM — With its best season in school history and an undefeated record on the line, nobody would blame Nelson County girls soccer for feeling the nerves as it kicked off its VHSL Class 2 state semifinal matchup against Clarke County on Friday in Salem — but any nervousness the Lady Governors felt sure didn’t last very long.
