On Saturday, the boys soccer team faced Perry County Central in the 2A State Elite 8.

 

The Rebels started off hot, scoring 3 goals in the first half alone. The first goal came from a Perry County Central own goal, and the second came from Jackson Pass. The third goal was a result of an Alan Wireman penalty kick.

 

The second half wasn’t as high scoring, but Breydon Hatter was able to head home a corner taken by Bo Little. The fifth and final goal of the night was tapped in by Alan Wireman to make the final score 5-0.

 

Senior JD Cooley commented on the Rebels advancing to the 2A Final Four, saying “We’re back where we deserve to be. I truly think we have an opportunity to bring the whole thing home.”

 

The Rebels play in the 2A Final Four this Saturday, versus DeSales. If they win they will advance to the championship game against the winners of the Warren Central and Rowan County game.

On Tuesday, the boys soccer team played against the Pulaski County Maroons.

 

The Rebels started out with a bang, scoring within the first 5 minutes, as a result of Alan Wireman firing it home from the backpost.  Just a few minutes later, Bo Little doubled the lead with a rifle of a shot. In the final minutes of the first half, Little made it a brace with an incredible volley into the top corner. The score going into halftime was Boyle County 3, Pulaski County 0.

 

The second half was a lot less open than the first, but Alan Wireman was able to lift the ball over the incoming goalkeeper’s hands, and into the back of the net. That was the final scoring play of the night, as the game ended 4-0 in the Rebels’ favor. Alan Wireman and Bo Little both ended up with 2 goals, Jackson Pass had 3 assists, and Matthew Britt had 1.

 

Commenting on the team’s performance, Alan Wireman said, “It wasn’t always pretty but I’m glad we were able to grab another win. Our focus shifts to the next game.”

 

The Rebels improve to 4-5 on the season, with the next game coming Thursday against their cross-town rivals, the Danville Admirals.
