11/1/2016

The Waring boys came from behind after going ahead 1-0 in the first five minutes of yeserday's game. Coach Jack Lindsay’s halftime constructive approach helped to give the boys a boost, after being down 3-1 at the half. With twenty minutes to play in the second half, the scoreline was 3-2. As the game approached the 15 minute mark, the teams exchanged counter attack after counter attack, with Newman going ahead 4-2. Waring jumped back on the scoreboard minutes later with a knock in off a dead ball from center back Mike Ballin. Sascha Denby scored his third goal of the game to make it 4-4 in the waning minutes of the match.

Overtime saw both teams continue to be dangerous on the counter attack. In the second overtime, Newman looked like they had found the goal on a dead ball, just outside the eighteen yard box, but goalkeeper Hunton Russell came up big with a first-class save, just tipping the ball over the cross bar.

Waring prevailed in Penalty Kicks, 4-3, after a scoreless double overtime. Waring will take on Gann Academy in the MBIL final today at Gann. Kickoff is at 3:15pm.
