HS soccer got their season off on a good start Thursday with a win over Stover HS. Weston Crawford opened the scoring with an unassisted goal in the games 19th minute. With just over 10 minutes left before half, Mark Pavlioglo was taken down hard in the penalty box and Kaelyn Ray punched in the PK attempt. Coming out of halftime with the 2-0 lead, GR once again got on the board first in the second half with a goal in the 9th minute by Raul Ramirez. The Bulldogs continued to fight hard and earned a PK at the midpoint of the second half to bring the score to 3-1. The Tigers and Ramirez answered just 3 minutes later with a shot from the left side which found the back of the net. Undeterred, Stover came back and found the back of the net less than a minute later with a goal which slipped past goalkeeper Mateo Rivas. The score remained 4-2 until the final whistle blew. Overall, both teams played solid soccer in what was each teams first game of the season. Up next for GR is the Clinton tourney next week with games on Tuesday (6:45), Thursday (5:00) and Saturday (9 AM). Come out and cheer on your Tigers.
