Prescott High School Soccer wins district playoff against Trout Lake, 4-0

PRESCOTT-On Tuesday October 29th the Prescott High School Boys Soccer team played Trout Lake on Tuesday October 29th in a loser-out first round district playoff game. This was the third time these teams have played each other this season with Prescott winning the first two matchups by scores of 7-2 on Sept. 21st and 4-0 on Oct. 5th. While Prescott controlled the ball well in the first half, they lacked the drive on offense that you normally see in this team. #7 Adrian Rubio would score the first goal of the game on a nice pass by Hector Garcia.

In the 2nd half, Prescott picked up the pace on offense lead by #10 Omar Velazco. He scored the 2nd goal of the game on a penalty kick then within seven minutes scored again, this time on a pass from #2 Vicente Garcia who seemed to be in the middle of the action all day. #11 Jonathan Cardenas closed out the scoring with a couple minutes left in regulation to end the game 4-0.With the win Prescott improves to 14-3 on the season. The next game will be on Tuesday November 5th vs. Riverside Christian 9-4 at 2:00 p.m. in Yakima. This is another loser-out playoff game. Prescott has lost to Riverside Christian twice this year; 4-0 in Yakima on Sept. 14th, and 2-1 on Oct. 12th in Prescott. Looking at common opponents between the teams Prescott has the edge winning all regular season games against Trout Lake and St. George's. Riverside Christian won both games against Trout Lake but lost both games to St. George's this season. This should be a good matchup. Should Prescott win then seeding for the State Tournament begins.

While covering this game I realized I'd made a mistake on the 5th goal scored against La Grande last week. The goal was scored by #20 Jonathan Gonzales. A team roster I received at the beginning of the season had Miguel Ayala listed as #1 or #20. Sorry about that, Jonathan and congratulations on your goal.
