JV Soccer

Boys Soccer – The JV Patriots went to Hartwell today and gave the Bulldogs a lesson in how to play soccer resulting in a 7-2 win.

Tyler Day's first goal from a PK.

        Around the 25^th minute things got congested in from of OC’s goal and Hartwell scored the game’s first goal.  Just seven minutes later Billy Waters fed a high ball in close to Harts goal where Griffin Giles headed it in for the equalizer.  The ball actually came off the far post and took a slow roll across the goal line; nevertheless, OC was on the board.

        The score would remain 1-1 at the half but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort on both team’s part.

        Like the first half it wasn’t long before Hart Co again found the back of OC’s net from the crowd in front of the goal.  And, also like the first half, it didn’t take long before Sean Atkinson found the back of the net with a shot from the 18 yard line after moving the ball from the mid-field line.  After Atkinson’s equalization goal things went downhill for Hart.

        Atkinson scored with 17 minutes left in the game.  Three minutes later Hart got called for a handball in the box.  Tyler Day took the PK and scored OC’s second goal of the second half.  Three minutes later Day would put score number four in the back of the net on a fine 25 yard run at the goal.

        Shortly after Day’s goal Day was tripped up in the box which gave OC another PK.  This time Waters put the ball in the goal scoring OC’s fifth point of the game and fourth of the half. 

        By now OC was in full control of the game.  Kyle Yeargin, playing left wing, brought the ball down field where just outside the 18 box he shot the ball that got past the keeper even though he got a hand on it.  This was OC’s sixth goal of the game.  The Patriots last goal was scored by Autry Farris when he took a shot from 15 yards out that, again, the keeper got his hands on but couldn’t stop from going into the goal.

        The JV soccer team travels to Gainesville to face Riverside this Friday for their last game of the season.
