Broncos? soccer season ends with Cascade loss

The soccer season for the Boyd Broncos ended in the District 11-A/AA tournament quarterfinals Saturday morning, with a 7-2 loss to the second-seeded Cascade Champions.

The game was played at Cascade, and saw the Champions (5-5-1) get on the board early as Mitchell Petty scored on an assist from Adrian Vasquez. Petty scored another goal, and Cascade?s Juan Licea added two more to put the home team ahead by a 4-0 margin by halftime.

With a comfortable lead, Cascade was able to relax defensively somewhat after intermission, and although the Broncos responded with several shots on goal, they were only able to slip the ball past the Champions? Zack Spears twice, on goals by Lucas Majors and Matthew Hancock in the second half.

With the loss, Boyd?s season finished with a record of 1-10-1, while Cascade moved on to Tuesday?s district semifinal round, which was to be played at Forrest High School in Chapel Hill.
