Cutthroat boys aim to nail down top seed
Win 4-0 at Filer
Two ?own goals? plus goals by freshmen Travis Stone and Spencer Harris enabled The Community School boys? varsity soccer team to beat Filer 4-0 Monday and draw closer to wrapping up the Fourth District 3A season championship.
?It was a good, tight game,? said Cutthroat coach Richard Whitelaw, who added that the half-time score was 1-0. Whitelaw saluted the improving Filer Wildcat team, which dropped its first game to the Cutthroats 8-1 back on Sept. 11.
Monday?s result, combined with Bliss? 1-0 win at Wendell Wednesday, drew the Cutthroats closer to the regular-season title of the six-team league. The Cutthroats have been beaten once in league action. Bliss (5-2-2) swept the season series with Wendell (6-2-1).
The Cutthroats wind up their regular-season schedule with two home games?today, Wednesday against league foe Wendell at 5 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 9 at 3:30 p.m. against 5A power Twin Falls at Browning Field. A win over Wendell gives the Cutthroats the top seed.
?Man of the Match? at Filer Monday was junior midfielder Wes Flanigan.
Monday?s victory stretched the current Cutthroat unbeaten streak to five games and improved the team?s overall record to 8-1-1 including a 5-0 mark at Browning Field in Elkhorn.
The state-qualifying district tournament begins Saturday, Oct. 16, although the top two seeds will have a bye the first day, Whitelaw said.
