Varsity soccer went 1-1 on the week. Play opened Monday night with a game vs. Smith Cotton JV where the Tigers were down 0-1 going into the half. The tigers came out determined after half and netted a goal in the first minute of play when Jackson Xiloj ran onto a through ball and broke the ball lose from the defense and Trenton Sawyer was there to finish the play and put the ball in the back of the net. SC answered with a goal of their own, however GR came back and scored a second goal just under 5 minutes into the half. Chance Gething sent a ball over the top of a couple of defenders to Max Tylar in the middle of the field. Tylar sent a pass to Reid Hagedorn who finished for the goal. SC would end up scoring one more to deal GR with the 2-3 loss. Denver Bannister and RJ Hampton combined for 20 saves in goal. In JV play the tigers lost 0-5. In conference play the Tigers faced the Stover Bulldogs on Tuesday. With just over 5 minutes remaining before half Jaden Xiloj took a pass from Max Tylar on the right side and sent a shot past the Stover goalie for a 1-0 halftime lead. The Tigers held the lead until just over 6 minutes remained when the Bulldogs evened the score on a shot just out of RJ Hampton's reach. In the first OT period Hampton came up with a huge stop on a PK which was awarded after a hard foul in the box by a GR defender. With the Bulldogs thwarting solid scoring attempts by the Tigers as well there was no score change after the 2 OT periods. This brought on PK's. After the first round of 5 pk shots the score was still tied, with Trent Sawyer, Reid Hagedorn, and Wyatt Crawford each netting their goals, and Hampton stopping 2 of the Bulldog shots. This pushed the game into sudden death PK's. Hampton stopped the first Bulldog shooter and Xiloj stepped up and buried his shot in the back of the net for the 2-1 win for the Tigers. In JV action the game was left at a 0-0 tie. Varsity Soccer is back in action Monday night in Columbia.
