Junior High Soccer Defeats Southern Fulton
By William Minahan
The Junior High soccer team defeated Southern Fulton 4-2 on Tuesday night as the team celebrated eighth-grade recognition.
Joe McKelvey had an early goal to set the game in motion. Early in the second half Southern Fulton had a nice goal to tie the game. About 1 minute after that, William Minahan banged a goal in from distance to put the Ramblers up 2-1.
Southern Fulton wanted to win, so they came back and scored to tie the game up again. With a win on their minds, Mariah Andrews found her way to the back of the net making the score 3-2 in favor on Windber. Joe McKelvey tallied his second goal of the night with a header to set the final score of 4-2.
The Ramblers travel to Johnstown Christian this Friday and Southern Fulton on Saturday before finishing the season at home on Monday.
After almost a decade of playing co-ed soccer in AYSO and junior high together, the eighth graders moving on to boys’ and girls’ varsity soccer next fall are Karah Ashbrook, Stephen Campitell, Brendan Curry, Grace Curtis, Lindsey Custer, Samantha Horner, Alexis James, William Minahan, Rylee Ott, Anna Steinbeck, Shannon Tokarsky, and Braydon Wojcik.
