Saturday provided a unique soccer extravaganza at Hanover high, as five of the six HHS teams played home matches. Not only did all five win (at least I think the JV girls won), but all five contributed to a wonderfully successful food drive on behalf of the Haven that produced hundreds of pounds of donations.
The boys Reserve team led things off with an exciting 3-1 win over Coe-Brown. Daniel Hernandez assisted on great goals by Kevin Dwyer and Eli Connolly, and Dwyer assisted on a highlight-reel strike by Chris Stephens. Kyle Castillo was outstanding in goal for the Reserves, who return to action Monday at Hartford.
After a sweep by the girls teams that included an exciting 1-0 victory for the Varsity over a higher-ranked Lebanon squad, the JV boys met an undefeated Lebanon team and defeated the 7-0. Details will be forthcoming.
Finally, the Varsity boys defeated Lebanon 1-0 in an outstanding match chronicled in more detail above.
