The Warhawks “had a lot of trouble finishing all night,” Head Coach Matthew Roth said, but it mattered little. They still took care of West Laurens, 4-1.
“We played very well defensively,” Roth added – his squad up 2-0 at the half, “and really shut down their attack.”
Nick Andersen netted two of Veterans’ goals. One of those came via an assist from D.J. Garrett. The other, Roth said, came from a corner he took and the keeper misplayed. Roth said the keeper also misplayed a throw-in that resulted in a score by Elijah Milteer and Carl Killingsworth scored on a penalty kick.
“Defenders Dillon Garrett, Carl Killingsworth, and Devante Mitchell gave them little room to work,” said Roth.
The Warhawks improved to 9-1 overall, 5-0 in 2-AAA. The Raiders fell to 5-5, 2-2.
Perry also upped its 2-AAA win total by one. The Panthers shut out Rutland 7-0 to improve to 6-4-1, 2-2-0. The Canes fell to 2-8-1, 1-5-0.
Daniel Ward scored the hat trick for Perry while Adam Wood, Toby Johnson, Tyler Smith and Nicky Hall each mde one. The Panthers were up 5-0 at the half.
“Sean Swan and Matt Salter did a great job holding the shutout as keeper,” said Perry Head Coach Nathan Dooley. “Matt Salter saved a penalty kick that was given to Rutland. Mitchell Freeman and Bryce Struckmeyer were standouts on defense as they held the center of the defense and did not allow the goal.”
He added: “I was very proud of the way the boys played. We possessed the ball well and distributed the ball across the field. We were able to play all our players last night and every one gave quality minutes. It was a great team effort and a win that should help us build momentum as we move into the second half of our region schedule.”
