Tigers escape with win at Collins Hill

The Fayette

County High School boys soccer team traveled to Collins

Hill to take on the Eagles on Friday night.

The first

half belonged to the Eagles, as they controlled most of

the play and took a number of shots. Keeper J.B. Wood, a

senior captain for the Tigers, made key saves throughout

the game.

The Tigers

got back in the game in the second half. The defense of

Adam Lester, Brad West, Matt Barth, Chris Kelly and Nick

Zatezalo gave the Tiger's offense several opportunities

to get some good shots off. Kelly and Zatezalo made

several key defensive saves, keeping the Eagles off the

scoreboard. Statistically, the game was pretty even at

the end of regulation.

The first

overtime period went the same way for both teams as the

neck in neck battle continued. Finally, with 37.5 seconds

remaining in the second overtime period, Ryan Terry found

Nick Walloch with a cross in the center of the six yard

box. Walloch punched it in, giving the Tigers the win.

Ryan Terry

dislocated his knee and broke his leg last season in the

opening jamboree. The Tigers are glad to have him back

and are surprised that he is back playing as well as he

is. Fayette County hosted the Starr's Mill boys last

night.
