South
Ripley Raiders soccer team earns 1-0 win over visiting Shawe
Hilltoppers
Gary Franklin, Sports Editor
On Wednesday evening, August 24, under a brightly
lit skywith little to no breeze and disgusting heat, the Varsity
South Ripley Raider boys soccer team managed to play the visiting
Shawe Memorial Hilltoppers and claim the 1-0 shutout victory.
Though battling on the Hilltoppers end of the field much of
the contest, the Raiders could only manage one score for goal.
That goal came off a hard working Levi Yocum with 27:40 remaining
in the first half, and an assist by Tyler Rolf.
With so much time remaining in the game, the question had now
become, "Could the Raiders make a one point edge stand
up?"
Much hard play was left on the field by both teams players through
the remaining half and the entire last half of the game, but
in spite of near misses, the Raiders held their ground for the
win.
Raiders and Hilltoppers alike, enjoyed solid support from a
large fan base gathered on the sidelines for the match.
