Crown them the champs!

It was a great day to be a Husky, especially if you are on the boys soccer team.

Saturday the Huskies traveled to the Bulldog Bash at Big Spring HS.

In the first contest, “the Purple and Black Attack” defeated West Perry 3-0.

We got on the board with a spot-on early cross by Mason Allen to Kayden Hook to finish 9:39 into the match. Then, halfway into the first half, RJ Miller played a perfectly weighted through ball to Zach Keller to find the back of the net,” said Mifflin County Boys Soccer Assistant Coach Todd Peters. “With ten minutes left in the first half, Bruce Baker served a great corner kick to Brody Wolfkill’s head to hammer home the third. Our boys withstood many arms and shoulders through their backs and maintained cool heads as this game progressed and played our game with some great team defense to maintain a shutout.”

Mifflin County led in shots on goal by 15-5 and were tied at two in corner opportunities.

Mifflin County’s goalie Jack Suydam

finished with five saves.

In the Championship Match vs Brandywine Heights the Huskies held on for a 3-2 nail biting win.

This game was a hard-fought match for both teams and a good one to be a part of for both sides. It lived up to championship match hype.

“We did manage to get on the board early with a nice ball from Chase Retherford finding Zach Keller,” said Peters. “Dylan Liggett got himself in the right spot off a deflection and finished a one-on-one against the keeper for number two. The midfield game was quite a battle during this one with Bryson Wagner, RJ Miller, Bruce Baker and Jace Bagrosky all with key minutes and stops in this match but also during the first. We caught ourselves getting tired and getting away from our kind of soccer in the last five minutes of the half and that let them score a direct kick and one we didn’t clear. We knew it was going to take some adapting of our gameplan in the second half as we did have them tired in some spots. Brody Wolfkill and Callen Harman kept us organized for the defensive strength we needed. It was end-to-end action with key subs being the difference as a shot was saved and Mason Allen put away the rebound with eight minutes to go. The boys played smart to end the match and bring home the Championship trophy.”

“It was a total team smart effort today with what we needed for team offense and defense. Our boys took what we worked on at practice and made it happen and for that we are happy to see and feel. It’s nice to bring a trophy back to Mifflin County knowing your hard work is paying off. With a team record of 3-1 we are still prepared to continue working hard for our next opponents.”

Suydam finished with 11 clutch saves.
