Catholic JV started the night off with a 4-0 win over the Rogersville’s JV team. In a game in which the Catholic JV controlled much of the game, Austin Lewis was able to have a foot, in some respect, on each goal that was scored.

In this Conference game, the second game of the night was so closely called, resulting in 4 Catholic Varsity yellow cards and 4 hand balls, the flow of the game became difficult.

At the 32st minute, Max Holtmann fed Cullen Barr the ball that he was able to convert into a goal.
Apparently inspired after the coaches’ talk , just 2 minutes into the second half, Cullen Barr scored with an assist from Luke Straus - ( Goal 3). Just 4 minutes later, David Bailey followed a rebound of the goalie on a hard shot by Cullen Barr ( Goal 4). At the 51st minute (only 5 minutes later), Reid Harbach was able to place the ball in the box that was headed in by David Bailey ( Goal 5) . The last goal of the evening was at the 79th minute on a long attack on goal in which Carson Shaefer was able to score on a rebound off the goal. Catholic Varsity beat Rogersville Varsity with a final score of 6-0.
Catholic Varsity is now 5-0 and Catholic JV is 3-0-1. Both teams remain undefeated.
