1st Leg of Sweetwater Cup goes to the Wolves

On Thursday in Green River the rivalry between the RS Tigers and GR Wolves started again on the pitch. This is a great game to watch and had two evenly matched teams playing against each other. The first 40 minutes were fast paced with both teams seeing some chances at the goal but both teams coming away empty handed. The second half was a different story as the Tigers scored first when Matt Lehman collected a ball sent to him from Garrett Hay. Matt was able to put the ball in the past the Wolves keeper for the first score of the match. Two minutes later the game saw another change when the Tigers were called for a foul in the penalty area resulting in a penalty kick for the Wolves. Green River scored on this chance to even the scoreline at one with thirty two minutes remaining. The Wolves scored on a rocket of a shot that found the underside of the crossbar and the back of the net in the 55th minute. The action continued to be fast as furious for the remainder of the match. The Tigers thought that they had the equalizing goal with seven minutes remaining but it was called off due to offsides. This drops the Varsity record to 4 - 4 - 0 and 3 - 2 - 0 in conference. It also moves the Tigers to third in the conference behind Natrona and Green River. Man of the Match: Cody Rall (Great Play and a Physical presence on the pitch)
Up Next for the Tigers: Saturday at Worland versus Powell - JV 3:00pm and Varsity 5:00pm

The Tigers were looking to avenge their earlier embarrassing defeat by upsetting the Wolves. This match was a classic rivalry match and saw the Tigers come to play for 80 minutes. However the Wolves got on the board first when the initial GR shot was saved by Gus Wagner but the deflection found a Wolves' feet and he scored in the 19th minute of play. This was the only score in the first half. The Tigers did see a couple of legitimate chances in the first 40 minutes of play including a header by Alex Arambel. The Tigers game plan seemed to be working as the heavily favored Wolves were frustrated in the 2nd half by the improved play of the Tigers. Then Green River sealed their win by two goal, one in the 61st minute and the other in the 69th minute. The Tigers kept trying and pressing forward to get a goal or two and get into the match but attemp...
