YCMS 0, Avery 2

The Cougars' unbeaten streak ended in Newland today as Yancey fell to Avery 2-0. I didn't get to attend but Luke said Avery scored on a free kick when the Yancey defender stopped, thinking he'd get off-side call, but didn't. The second goal came in the second half when Avery got a breakaway.

Luke said that the Cougars had multiple chances to score and missed shots they normally hit. "They were bigger, faster, and beat us to the ball."

I reminded him of how many times Yancey had beaten Avery in the past several years and how they were probably very motivated to try and win.

Luke agreed that maybe the Cougars were complacent. He also acknowledged that the lack of substitutes hurt.

The Cougars will have to forget this game in a hurry as they host Apple Valley tomorrow. Back to back games!!
