The Canton R-V Soccer team won their District Championship against Christian High School. The team began their district play against number three seed, St. Peters Lutheran. The Tigers defeated St. Peters Lutheran 4-2, with Austin Hoewing and Logan Brown scoring a goal each and Tyler Niemann scoring two goals. David McReynolds, Jonny Lee, and Cameron Durst had assists. In their second game, the Tigers played against number one seed Christian High
School. After 80 minutes of no score, the game went into the first 15 minutes of overtime, which yielded no score, leading to another 15 minutes of overtime. After a total of 110 minutes with no score, the game moved to penalty kicks. Fortunately for the Tigers, they were chosen to kick second, behind Christian. The first Christian player scored his goal, and Austin Hoewing followed suit by scoring one as well. Christian’s second player was unable to score, but Brandon
Berhorst converted his. The third Christian player also missed his goal, with Tyler Niemann scoring yet another PK for the Tigers. The team waited anxiously as Christian’s fourth player prepared to take his penalty kick. Unfortunately, he scored; with Canton needing Jonny Lee to convert his, for victory. Jonny successfully converted from the spot, resulting in a Canton victory. This is the second District Championship that the Tigers have claimed in a row, but Coach Sarah Mueller explains
that it was no easy victory. “This year we had a completely different district and probably a harder one. We had five teams compared to only three last year,” Mueller remarked. The Tigers will play Principia (12-11) on Wed., Nov. 7 at 5 p.m. at the soccer field on the Culver-Stockton campus. The game was originally planned for Tuesday, but due to poor field conditions, it was postponed.
