It usually takes a goal to get the Boyd-Buchanan boys’ soccer team fired up. A goal by the other team, that is.
Thursday was no different.
After allowing an early score by Arts & Sciences, the Buccaneers were able to tie the District 5-A/AA match before halftime. They then added a Jeremy Borders goal with about 10 minutes remaining to defeat the Patriots 2-1.
The win gave the Bucs an early leg up in the district standings, where they are 2-0, while the Patriots fell to 3-1 in their first season in the new classification. Yet it was the hosts who were more ready at the beginning, gaining a quick advantage on Martin Patton’s goal.
The Bucs (4-3 overall) got even when Justus McMillan flipped a John Beasley throw-in to an on-running David Ingram, who fired a shot past CSAS’s Addison Coleman.
