Varsity boys soccer: Duanesburg vs. Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Sept. 9  

Submitted by Coach Kevin DiTondo

Sept. 14, 2009—It started out as a slow passing game with both coaches maneuvering the players into different positions on the field—building the teams on the fly and watching them work together.

At half-time the score was still 0-0. But, things started to heat up for the Eagles during the second half. The players began making opportunities happen, taking more shots and building their intensity and sportsmanship. The game went into double overtime with both teams taking shots and missing goals by only a few inches. The defense was on high-level alert and offense was soaring in for an attack.

And then it happened… With a great cross from Ben Brand outside the 18 yard line and onto the knee of Matt St. John and off of the head of Eric McGuire—the Eagle’s scored—making the final score Duanesburg-1 and BKW-0.

Great job to both teams on an amazing game!
