Boys soccer advances in tournament play

The boys defeated CNE last night in sectional tournament play by the score of 2-1. New Richmond started out strong with numerous shots on goal that did not find the back of the net. After a scoreless un-eventful first half the second half would not be the same. After an altercation that resulted in a CNE player to be ejected, CNE score the games first goal off of a re-start. The Lions found themselves down 1-0 with just less then 20:00 left to play and the bad weather moved in delaying the game. At 8:10 the officials gave the go ahead to take the field. After making some adjustments the boys came out ready to play. Sam Lefler scored the equalizer and Tyler Loyd scored the go ahead goal and secured the victory. The Lions face McNicholas Saturday at 3:00.
