HS roundup: York grad named All-American, plus who won the Cherry Road Classico?
BOYS' SOCCER
Northwestern 2, Rock Hill 0
Northwestern bagged a critical boys' soccer win Tuesday night at District Three Stadium against rival Rock Hill.
Carson Guest scored 13 minutes into the second half and a Rock Hill own goal six minutes later sealed the Bearcats' fate. It might have been a different story if Cesar Robles' Rock Hill side had converted a pair of chances in the first five minutes of the game. A loose ball in the penalty area sat up for Skyler Fields, who thumped a volley off the crossbar, before Northwestern keeper Davis Hooten stretched fully to his right to palm away Sam Cable's well-met header.
Northwestern got to the half with the game still scoreless and the possession-dominant Trojans took control in the second half as Rock Hill withered. Northwestern's center midfield pairing of freshman Nic Parker and senior Connor Hall zipped around the artificial surface probing Rock Hill's back line, and they finally found an opening in the 67th minute. Guest ran on to a through ball and clipped it past freshman keeper Bryce Jones and into the goal off the right post.
And the Bearcats' resistance was broken in the next six minutes when a Trojan corner kick deflected off a Rock Hill back and flew into the net. Northwestern moved to 2-2 in Region 4-5A, while Rock Hill slipped to 1-3. The Bearcats face Clover and Nation Ford next week in a pivotal pair of games for their playoff hopes.
