A taste of fall in the air as the Cougars travelled to Spruce Pine to rematch Harris. The Cougars were without Dalton. Luke had earned a starting spot this week due to his hard work during practice.
The Cougars went to goal three times in the first half. Scoring on the 16th, 22nd, and 28th minutes. Goalkeeper Clay did not have to stop a single Harris shot as the Cougars ended the first half up 3-0, a score which would have been higher if not for several offside calls against the Cougars.
The Harris keeper was kept busy in the second and she stopped numerous shots, and those she didn't stop were either hitting the crossbar or flying just wide of the mark.
Mr. Powell encouraged his defenders to boom the ball forward and Martin did just that as he launched an amazing shot about 4o yards out from goal that found the back of the net.
Several of the Yancey defenders decided to carry the ball forward and eventually got caught out of position when Harris cleared a long ball that found one of their big forwards who scored ball one on one against Isreal in goal.
Yancey will face a tough challenge on Thursday when Asheville Middle School visits Burnsville.
Go Cougars!
