Boys Varsity West Soccer vs. Byron Center HS School

Game Date
Aug 20, 2022
Score
: 2.00
BYRON CENTER HIGH SCHOOL: 1.00

The boys varsity got off to a strong start as they beat Byron Center 2-1  in the Back to School Classic at Byron Center.  After an hour rain delay 1:23 seconds into the game the Dux came out ready to go.  They fell behind 1-0 mid way through the first half on a loose ball that bounced around  in the box that just couldn't get cleared.  The possession went back and forth and the Dux started to find their groove and with 4:31 left in the 1st half Sammy Salas found the ball at his feet and took a shot that deflected off of a Byron defender and into the back of the net to even the score.  They picked it up even more in the 2nd half and through some ball pressure and great combination Sammy scored again on an assist from Micah Henry.  The Dux stayed tough defensively and kept the Bulldogs off of the scoreboard for the remainder of the game.  The Dux got a break when a header from a cross hit the outside of the goal post with 7 seconds to go in the game.  It was a great team win to start the season and we played through the delay.  Proud of our boys tonight!!  Next game is the 24th at Wayland.
