On Saturday in Rock Springs the Tigers wrapped up their regular seaso
n and recognized their soon to be graduating seniors when they played host to the Star Valley Braves. The majority of the match was dominated in play by the Tigers. However, Rock Springs just seemed to not find the scoring touch. The Tigers finally found the back of the next in the 38th minute when an Erick Mata cross found Matt Lehman on the back post and Lehman headed it in. The score stood at 1 to 0 at the half in favor of the Tigers. The second half saw the Tigers get more aggressive on the offensive third and this half the Tigers chances all seemed to find their mark. Goals came in the 55th, 67th, 71st and 76th minute. The goal scorers were Storie Ratcliff twice, Tevin Beaver and Luke Aust. Assisting on the goals were Gilbert Gonzalez, Garrett Hay and Storie Ratcliff. The Tiger defense and goalie were both very tough and kept the Braves from scoring on the afternoon, this was the Tiger's sixth shutout of the year and keeper Bryce Kalista's fifth. The six seniors who played their last game at Crossroads for the Tigers are; Tevin Beaver, Gilbert Gonzalez, Garrett Hay, Bryce Kalista, Erick Mata and Cody Rall. This win gives the Tigers their ninth win of the season compared to five losses. In the conference the Tigers went 7 - 3 - 0. The will settle for a third place finish in the conference and will play the last place team in an elimination game to see who goes to state. Man of the Match: Luke Aust (for another good job on defense and his first career high school goal - a double meg roof - goal shown above in picture.)
