Eagles ousted in City Tournament

Heritage and Chatard faced off in second round action of the city tournament Monday evening. Powerful winds kept the game interesting and both teams played very well in the tough conditions. Senior Matt Goldsberry scored for Heritage midway through the first half. The Eagles were able to hold onto the lead and went into halftime up 1-0. The second half was very competitive and things were looking good for Heritage until Chatard was awarded a penalty kick. Freshman Jon Harman came up huge and saved the penalty kick. Unfortunately the referee called a fault and allowed Chatard to have kick again. The Trojans scored to tie the game on the second chance. The boys continued to play well and Chatard was able to punch through the go ahead goal with about 15 minutes to go in the game. The Eagles went with three forwards in hopes of getting the tying goal but Chatard was able to put in another goal with about eight minutes to go to seal the win.

Coach Nelson was very pleased with the effort of the guys. He was impressed by the amount of challenges that they won through out the game. The Eagles look to rebound from this game and gear up for a great game against Mt. Vernon on Thursday.
