For the varsity boys, Nick Adamczyk scored five goals in helping overcome an early lead by Central Fellowship.

“They went up 1-0 and had us on our heels,” said coach Jake Landress. “We were sluggish to start. We kept telling the players to pick up their level of play. Nick gave us a spark we needed and then everything starting clicking.”

Landress said freshman Ben Davis also had a solid performance.

“Ben stepped up his play,” the coach said. “He has really gained confidence this season.”

The Lady Cougars led just 1-0 at halftime before taking control in the second half.

“We knew it was going to take a better effort in the second half and we were able to get that,” Landress said.

Taylor Patterson paced the Middle School girls with three goals.

“It was a good back and forth, hard-fought match,” Landress of the Middle School contest. “It was great to see the girls get that win.”
