The Indians secured a third consecutive victory in a 5-1 home match against region foes George Walton on Monday evening. After falling behind on an own goal, TFS rallied for 5 unanswered goals for the win.
The Indians went behind early 1-0 on a free kick that ricocheted off the bar in off keeper Kelton Reynolds.
“The team quickly composed themselves and began to attack George Walton,” says coach Jeremy Stille. “We continued to press them and were able to find our openings and take advantage of our shots.”
Clay Kafsky scored a beautifully-placed shot after chipping the ball to himself over a defender, then Sean Lynes, Jr. equalized through a penalty won by Eli Damron. Jake Wehrstein finished the scoring in the first half by volleying in a cross from Austin Ball’s free kick. That had TFS up 3-1 going into the break.
In the second half, the Indians continued to press and Lynes, Jr. was able to score another long-distance goal after a pass from Ball. Later, Trevor Bramlett collected a ball down the line and played a composed cross to Gavin Atkinson who took a touch to settle and half-volleyed it into the bottom corner for his first-ever goal, capping the TFS scoring at 5-1.
“We played hard and fought for the win,” adds Stille. “All our attention is now focused on Wednesday to continue our region winning streak against Prince Avenue Christian.”
The Indians move to 7-1-1 overall and are a perfect 3-0 in region play. Ball’s 2 assists gave him a new career-high of 11 and moves him to 21 all-time at TFS.
