Van Horn proved it can win a soccer game with standouts Carlos Contreras and Carlos Borders not scoring a goal.
Midfielders Ricardo Sanchez and Cristobal Murillo provided the offense Thursday as the Falcons edged Fort Osage 2-1 at Indendence All-School Stadium.
“It was good to see other members step up,” Van Horn coach Chris Corrie said. “Fort Osage did a good defense on both of the Carloses.”
Contreras and Borders did contribute, though. Contreras assisted on Sanchez’s goal in the 23rd minute and Borders assisted on Murillo’s goal with 13 minutes left to play.
Tucker Hickey tied the score for Fort Osage (8-11) in the 51st minute. Sixteen minutes later Murillo kicked in the winning goal for the Falcons (10-10)
BLUE SPRINGS SOUTH 1, RAYMORE-PECULIAR 0: A new formation and an altered lineup helped Blue Springs South get the necessary offense for a Suburban Big Seven home win.
Marcus Wolfenbarger scored on an assist from Ty Thorp in the 55th minute and the Jaguars held on to improve to 8-8-1 overall and 4-6 in the conference.
“It was nice to get a win,” Jaguars coach Jon Grice said. “We mixed up the game plan a little tonight and the guys responded well to it. It was an overall team win.”
Chance Reed, with help from a strong defensive effort, made four saves to post the shutout.
South’s junior varsity won 3-0.
PEMBROKE HILL 6, OAK GROVE 1: Ross Payne and Jacob Fox each scored three goals to power visiting Pembroke Hill.
“Lately, we haven’t been playing good minutes of soccer,” Oak Grove coach Ben Thomason said. “They had their ball in their half of the field most of the second half.”
The lone goal for Oak Grove (10-9) was scored by Dillon Simpson in the 32nd minute on Brandon Morgason’s assist.
Pembroke Hill also prevailed in the junior varsity game 3-0.
ST. PAUL’S-CONCORDIA 5, GRAIN VALLEY 1: Visiting St. Paul’s broke open a close game with four second-half goals, including two in the final three minutes, to defeat Grain Valley for the fourth time this season.
“I thought we could beat them this time,” Grain Valley coach Bryan Davis said. “It was a tough match.”
Tim Collins scored the only goal for Grain Valley (5-14-1) in the 66th minute.
Daniel Beck’s three goals powered St. Paul’s.
St. Paul’s also took the junior varsity match 4-1.
PARK HILL 3, TRUMAN 2: A goal with 90 seconds remaining in the second 10-minute overtime carried visiting Park Hill to a Suburban Big Six victory Wednesday night.
Mike Roberts scored on a Zach Wallace assist and Chris Lear scored an unassisted goal in the second half for Truman (8-13-1, 4-5 Big Six). Lear has scored 22 goals this season.
“The kids played hard,” Truman coach Bryan Schmitt said. “We have had some long games lately with four of our last six games in double overtimes. They wore us out. We got tired in the second overtime.”
