On Saturday the Varsity Rock Springs Tiger Soccer team started their season. Their first match of the day was against the Powell Panthers at 11:00am. The match started well as the Tigers scored first in the 4th minute when Storie Ratcliff scored off of a great ball sent by Jesse Love. Powell was next on the board when they scored off of a free kick in the 20th minute. The scored was tied at 1 a piece at the half. The second half saw the Tigers recapture the lead at 2 - 1 in the 73rd minute when Pat Walker sent a nice cross into the box that Storie Ratcliff headed in. The Tiger lead was not for long as the Panthers scored in the 76th minute off of a corner kick. The match ended in a tie at 2 - 2. Because it was jamboree format there was no overtime or tie breaker. Several Tiger players made their first varsity start such as; Jesse Love, Austin Lever and Camilo Anturi Flores. The following Tigers made their varsity debut; Cody East, Todd Gray, Kohl Stewart, Jordan Rood and Tyler Legerski. This put the Tigers record at 0 - 0 - 1. The man of the match was Storie Ratcliff (2 goals).


The second match of the day has a half match (20 minute halves) played at 1:20pm on Saturday. It was against the Pinedale Wranglers. This was the 1st ever meeting between the to schools. For the second straight match the Tigers started off well. The Tigers drew first blood in the 4th minute when Storie Ratcliff converted on a penalty kick. Austin Lever notched the next goal in the 10th minute with an assist going to Daulton Grube. The scored stayed at 2 - 0 until the half.

The final match of the afternoon pitted the Worland Warriors against the Rock Springs Tigers in a 40 minute match at 3:20pm. The Tigers came out strong in the match and played very well for the first 6 or 7 minutes. But the fatigue seemed to set in and the Warriors controlled most of the rest of the short match. The lone goal for the match was headed in by the Warriors in the 19th minute. Although the Tigers did not create too many chances in the second half they did create a few that they failed to score. The final score was Warriors 1 - Tigers 0. The first loss of the season drops the Tigers record to 1 - 1 - 1. The man of the match was Taylor Chesnovar (great play on the outside defense). Up Next for the Tigers a non conference match versus the Laramie Plainsmen on Thursday April 1st at crossroads field JV at 3:00pm and Varsity at 5:00pm.
