The Clarion-Limestone Boys Soccer Team hosted the Karns City Gremlins for a Saturday morning game on October 15th.

Despite some great offense and defense on both sides of the field, the game was tied at zero at halftime.

Karns City was the first team to score in the second half.  That would, however, be their only goal of the game.

Bailee Verdill was the first to score for the Lions.  Wyatt Boyden tapped the ball to Verdill off a corner kick. Verdill dribbled the ball in a bit closer and found the back of the net.

The Boyden – Verdill combo scored the second goal as well. On a short pass from Boyden to Verdill halfway between the 18 and the midfield, Verdill’s shot soared over the goalie’s head into the upper left corner of the net for his second goal of the game.

The final goal of the game came from Thomas Uckert off a beautiful cross pass from Verdill.

The Lions have two regular season games left.

They travel to Redbank Monday (October 17th) for a 7:00 game.

They host DCC Wednesday (October 19th) for a 6:00 game.

(Good work, Lions!!!! Thanks to Kristen Geiger for her pics and Mindi Verdill for her article!!)
