Covington Catholic 2 Conner 1

It started out as a great night for soccer in Park Hills.  Both teams had opportunities to score often and early but it was Cov Cath that put the first goal in the back of the net as the Cougar defense struggled getting the ball out of the 6 yard box area.  The Cougar defense made a weak clear that found the foot of a Colonel and he was able to convert to take the early lead.  It wasn't long after that the Cougars struggled again cleaning the ball and the Colonels struck again getting 2 in the back of the net. 

At this point Conner could've folded, but the Cougars fought back.  A ball was played up to the Conner attacker who was able to drive forward and knock the ball off the Cov Cath defender.  Conner had a quick throw to a streaking player who ended up with a 1 v 1 with the keeper and converted the shot to draw Conner back to a one goal differential. 

Halftime followed about 10 minutes after the Conner score.  Both teams were sent to the locker room area and after about 20 minutes the game was called due to weather, so there was only 40 minutes of soccer tonight in Park Hills.  It would've been fun to see another 40 minutes... this might have been a shoot out the way the offenses were attacking the defense tonight.  

On a side note... the freshman game was very entertaining with both teams earning the draw.
