The eagles faced an inspired Washington team in the first round of the city tournament. Sophomore Graham Allgood gave the team a 1-0 lead with his sixth goal of the year. He was assisted by sophomore Anders Rotto. The eagles added to their lead when freshman Luke Peduto scored off a cross from Graham Allgood. At the end of the first half, Heritage led 2-0. Unfortunately, the start of the second half was not kind to the boys, and they gave up two quick goals. The second half ended 2-2, and the two teams then prepared for overtime. After two seven minute periods, the game was still tied. The game would then end with a penalty shoot out. Senior Connor Richards, Anders Rotto, sophomore Sam Hall, senior Blaine Roberts, and sophomore Parker Campbell all stepped up and buried their penalty shots. Washington's shooters did just the same, and the shoot out moved to sudden death. Goals from Graham Allgood and sophomore Jake Huff would be needed, and fortunately for the eagles, Washington's 7th shooter missed his penalty shot wide.
The eagles returned an hour and a half later, and defeated the 3rd seeded Scecina 2-0. The boys dominated Scecina with possession, and were finally able to break through in the second half with a goal from freshman Malik Roberson. The game was put away a few minutes later when senior Brad Giannini scored off a cross from Malik Roberson.
The eagles will get a rematch against the 2nd seeded Covenant Christian on Monday, September 27, at 7pm. This should be a great game, and the boys are looking forward to the game. This marks the third time in four years that Heritage has reached the semi-finals of the city tournament.
Go Eagles!
