Conner 8 Grant County 0

Senior Night part 2 for the Cougars.  Coach Walker opts to start his 6 Seniors for their last home game on Tom Stellman field in Hebron.  The Seniors would not disappoint as Owen Mayhew passes a ball through the defense that finds fellow Senior Golikia Masoluka for the 1-0 lead.  A few moments later Colin Davey would find Owen Mayhew who received the ball and draws a foul in the box.  Mayhew converts on the PK 2-0 Cougars.  The Cougars continued to find goals from their Seniors as Micah Bitter gets his first varsity goal and makes it 3-0.  Coach Walker would rotate some starters in and Grady Noble finds Mason Ginn on a pass that allows Ginn to go 1 v 1 on the keeper to make it 4-0 Conner.  Before the half ends the Cougars would find another goal as junior Noah Beckley would score his first goal off a ball bouncing around in the box to make it 5-0 Conner going into the half.

At this point Conner had the game in hand heading into the second half and Coach Walker comes back with his Senior starters and some reserves added in.  Conner would take a while to find another goal, but Dallas Marshall would find Colin Davey on the right side of the field who would rocket a shot into the back of the net for his first goal of the season and put the Cougars up 6-0.  Once again, the Cougars would find the back of the net as Ayden Terry crosses a ball that finds Landon Henn who gets a touch on the ball and gets a shot past the keeper for the 7-0 lead.  With about 4 minutes remaining the Cougars Seniors put the game away as Owen Mayhew finds fellow Senior Brayden Thornton who makes a nice shot to close the game out 8-0 for the Cougars.  

I'm not sure what to make of this game.  Grant County has played some teams tough, but they just didn't have the quality of players like Conner had tonight.  The Cougars were focused for their last regular season game, and it was impressive that they had 8 different scorers in the match with 5 assists.  If Conner can move and share the ball like they did tonight over the next 2 weeks this could be a season to remember for the Cougars.
