Sir! Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Highlands might have thought they could coast on last week's glory. Holmes had other ideas scoring in the first minute or so to go up 1-0 (Josh Lemus, I think). Highlands slowly climbed back into it to go up 2-1 at half. Lots of solid defending by Holmes... they do a very good job getting 9 field players behind the ball and jamming up entry to the 18. Second half was more of the same. Highlands looked better but gave up a goal on a quick counter. Holmes GK Roy Carter had a very good game. He was active enough that he cramped up in the second half and had to come out for a minute or so - I don't know if I've ever seen s GK cramp up before. Holmes transitions to counter-attack well with Kerry Nolasco providing good distribribution from a defensive midfield position. For sure Holmes' best team in years. Very good chance they could be playing in Regionale if they can avoid the 4/5 seed in their district. Good luck to them going forward.
oldgrappler Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Congrats to Highlands on the win and kudos to Holmes for a huge improvement in their soccer program. Keep it headed in this direction. :thumb:
