Bengal boys soccer team misses state

Lewiston soccer leaped into the season as they traveled near and far in hopes of making state.
Boys’ varsity soccer took the field by storm Oct. 1 in a match against Lakeland High School at Walker Field. The teams fought back and forth for the first half of the game, but the tides turned for the Bengals. They scored three goals in a short matter of time and held Lakeland to one goal to pull off a win of 3-1.
“We probably could have had better communication throughout the season,” said Austin Jacks, senior center midfielder.
“We played hard all the way through the season. “Our team came through for us at the end,” said Trevor McCarthy, senior center midfielder.
With a 9-7-3 record the team traveled to Lake City to participate in the first area game of Districts. Oct. 8 a single-elimination regionals game took place in Lake City where the Bengals played a hard game, but were later defeated by Lake City High School with a score of 0-1.
“We finished hard, but we probably could have used more team encouragement to boost the energy,” said Kyler Grimm, senior defender.
