Highlands 6 Oldham County 1

[mexitucky]

I will have a write up in the morning. Just to paraphrase, the first 20 minutes saw OC with about 65% possession and Highlands 3 goals. They were clinical on the counter. Lead blew up to 5-1 at half, and the Birds added one more in the 2nd

Most impressive I have seen this Highlands team all season. They were running on all cylinders. This team has a whole lot of everything; depth, speed, skill, defense, and aggressiveness. They are fun to watch. Keep this momentum going this weekend against Trinity.

This game started pretty crazy. I don't think that Highlands saw the ball after kickoff for about 2 minutes at a time for the first 5 minutes. The Birds got a chance to break about 8 minutes in. Penrod took possession in midfield, dribbled to his right and fed an angled ball into the feet of Caymon Stevie who shot quickly from the top corner of the 18 to open the scoring. Oldham controlled the ball for a little longer as Highlands sat deep. A quick outlet to Porter Hedenberg led to a nice win in a one-on-one down the sideline. He crossed to the far post and Stevie reached his long leg around the defender to poke it home to put the Birds up 2-0. Same dance different song and again Porter found the ball off of a long angled pass from Carter Holmes. Porter curved in a blast from about 20 yards out to the far post to put the Birds up 3-Nil 15 minutes into the game. OC came right back w/ a long ball to #9 who scored to make it 3-1. 3 minutes later, the Birds stormed ahead again. This time Jackson Lehrter crossed to Demetri Sarakatsannis who got the ball to Max Farris for the Sophomore's 4th goal of the season. Literally 3 more minutes later Cary Gorrigan scored on a breakaway. 5-1 was the score at the half. Porter added his 3rd in two games in the 2nd half to round out the scoring.
