MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Arts & Sciences boys’ soccer team has come a long way in one season.
A shot from Ben Greenwell in the 99th minute Tuesday made sure the ride isn’t over yet.
Columbia Academy’s Dawson Carter (2) and Arts & Sciences’ Cole Avery (2) and Will Fraser (9) go for the ball during their Division I Class A quarterfinal match during Spring Fling XXV at Richard Siegel Soccer Park on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 in Murfreesboro, Tenn.The CSAS senior struck a shot that bounced over Columbia Academy goalkeeper Hardin Johnson’s head, struck off the crossbar and into the back of the net, and the Patriots advanced to the Class A state semifinals with a 2-1 overtime win at the Richard Siegel complex.
The Patriots (13-6-2) will face Gatlinburg-Pittman (12-9) today at 3 p.m. EDT. Signal Mountain, which is in the same district as CSAS, is in the other semifinal against Franklin Grace.
CSAS coach David Poss said he was confident in his team’s ability should the match go into a shootout but was much happier to “get it done now.”
