Yancey 4, Avery 0

Yancey DOMINATES Avery to win 4-0 in Regular Season Finale!

Avery got the opening kickoff. That was the end of the good news for them.

60 seconds into the game, Luke played a beautiful through-ball that caught Martine in full stride and Martine buried the shot to make it 1-0 Yancey barely a minute into the game.

The Cougars played with fire and intensity, chasing down loose balls, hustling, playing very physically, and using consistent passing.

Martine scored the next Cougar goal off a corner kick and Gabriel worked an absolute feat of magic to beat two Avery defenders to make the score 3-0 at the half.

The Cougars were fired up.

The first 15 minutes of the second half were played quite evenly with neither team really threatening. With 15 minutes to go, Mr Powell made some adjustments and the Cougars once again dominated, keeping the ball in the Avery defensive third for long stretches. The diminutive Gabriel was on the end of another good pass and the little forward beat the keeper to make it 4-0. Yancey played hard and did not allow Avery a decent shot.

Luke played another solid game. He hustled, he made great passes, played tough defense and stayed involved in the flow of the game

The win, with the 4 goals, means Yancey wins the regular season. Mitchell and Avery will play Monday to earn the right to meet these Cougars again at Mountain Heritage High School on Wednesday, October 1st.

The Cougars finish the regular season 5-2-2.
