Tigers Down the Braves in Afton

On Friday in Afton the RS Tigers were able to defeat there 4A West rival the Star Valley Braves by a score of 2 to 1. Pat Walker scored first for the Tigers off of a long throw in by Tevin Beaver. Walker headed the ball to the back post to beat the Brave's keeper, that was in the 13th minute. The Tigers last goal came from a nice pass from Garrett Hay to Storie Ratcliff, who put the ball in the back of the net in the 35th minute. The Tigers had a two to zero lead at the half. Star Valley would not quit and inched a little closer when they headed a ball in from a corner kick in the 54th minute. But the Tigers continued to play tough defense and kept the Braves from scoring again to preserve the 2 to 1 win. This moves the Varsity record to 4 - 2 - 0 and 3 - 0 - 0 in conference. Man of the Match: Bryce Kalista (10 saves).

In the JV matchup the Tigers scored early and often as they defeated the JV Braves by a score of 5 to 1. The record for the JV team is now 4 - 1 - 1.

Spring Break and Schedule Changes

The games versus Green River that were originally scheduled during our Spring Break have been re-scheduled. We will now have the JV game on March 30 at 5pm in Green River with the Varsity Game being March 31st at 5pm in Rock Springs. We still have our two home matches against the Casper schools (KW and NC) the first weekend of spring break (4/3, 4/4). These matches will be very important for our seeding at regionals. The team also is scheduled to practice on Monday and Tuesday of spring break, but will get the rest of the week off. Please make your family plans so that the can coincide with the team plans. The changes to the game schedule and the practice schedule have been changed on their own links, see the links to your right.
