BOYS
On an evening in which the Indians honored seniors Simeon Conjagic, Jake Hall, and Emery Sims, TFS secured an easy 10-0 win against Elbert County. The #1-ranked Indians made it 11 straight victories, and Austin Ball and Hall notched hat tricks.
“What a great environment on senior night,” says coach Jeremy Stille. “Big thank you to the parents, families, and students that came out to support the players, especially the seniors on a special night.”
TFS wasted little time lighting up the scoreboard as the boys scored 4 goals in the opening 10 minutes. They added a couple more toward the end of the first half to go up 6-0. The Indians polished it off 4 goals in the second half.
“The boys really moved the ball well tonight and focused on controlling the spaces, with lots of off-the-ball movement to create openings and opportunities to take advantage of,” adds Stille. “Great win.”
Along with Ball and Hall recording 3 goals each, Clay Kafsky scored twice, and Luis Varona Pastor and Koen Eller both had a goal. Kafsky added an assist, while Jackson Pollock had 2 assists, and Landon Hall and Jake Wehrstein each had one.
The defense was outstanding, controlling the ball and forcing all shots from distance. In the win, TFS now has 88 goals scored on the season, which surpasses the school single-season record of 81 set in 2015.
The Indians are now 11-0 overall and 7-0 in region play and have secured no worse than second in the region, which secures a home playoff game for at least the first tournament game.
