Jefferson shuts out Paisley Middle
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THF. fHRONin P
The soccer match
between Jefferson and
Paisley middle schools
started off as an evenly
matched affair. As the
game progressed, Jefferson
asserted their dominance
and walked away with a 7
0 victory.
When the game began,
both teams seemed to be
trying to get a feel for one
another. Paisley was the
first team to get a shot on
goal, but it was saved by
the Patriot goaltender. Not
to be outdone, the
Jefferson strikers went on
the attack. Aiden
Palmerton put Jefferson on
the board, first after receiv
ing a pin point pass from a
teammate, giving them a 1
0 lead.
From that point going
forward, the Patriots never
let up on their opponents.
Minutes after the goal by
Palmerton, Patriot mid
fielder Matthew Allen
scored for a 2-0 lead. The
Patriots launched multiple
shots on goal for the
remaining of the half and
all were stopped by the
Panther goaltender until
right before the half.
Weston Joyner dribbled
past two Paisley defenders
and scored a beautiful goal
right before the whistle.
Jefferson head coach
Nick Beno said his team
did not play the way he
wanted them to in the first
half but turned things
around in the second half.
"I think it was just a
matter of making them
aware of how we need to
play the game and making
them understand that we
weren't playing the game
of soccer how I wanted
them to play, so I think it
was a wake-up call to
them," said Beno.

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THE CHRONICLE
The Spartans of Mt. Tabor were facing their
second undefeated team in a row when they took
on West Forsyth last Thursday. The week prior
they dominated a quality Reynolds team and
looked to do the same against the Titans.
The game was a tight fought battle down to the
final seconds. The game went back and forth
throughout but West Forsyth had the ball on fourth
down with less than 15 seconds on the clock.
Instead of taking a knee and forcing Mt. Tabor to
try dnd score from 85 yards away, West ran a play
and the running back fumbled. The ball was
picked Up by linebacker Lee Sales and ran back
for the winning score as time expired and they cel
ebrated with an improbable 20-17 victory.
Mike Lovelace, Mt. Tabor head coach, said the
end of the game was an unbelievable feeling. He ,

East Forsyth seeks to continue
win streak against SWGuilford
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THE CHRONICLE ;
With Southwest Guilford currently sitting at 6-1 and
poming off a 42-14 victory against Ragsdale, their confi
ience is sky high. East Forsyth started the season 1-4 but
ifter winning two games in a row, they seem to be clicking
>n all cylinders. The matchup between the teams sets up
o be a good one.
Southwest Guilford head coach Michael Vogel says
their season has gone very well thus far and they set out
every year thinking they can make a run for the confer
ence championship.
"We've been pretty competitive even with having a
really young team right now," said
Vogel. "We are really freshman heavy this year and we've
had some people step up that early in the season we didn't
see a lot of promise from "
Vogel says that two years ago, the Cowboys went
undefeated and that really set the tone for the future of the
program. He says they have a great middle school team
that runs a similar offense and prepares the players for
what is to come once they reach the high school level.
He went on to say that he knows that East Forsyth has
a great team and the target is on their back due to contin
ued success the program has shown over the years. He
said he told his team they have to beat East Forsyth if they
want to win the conference.
He closed by saying, "The thing about East is they are
strong fundamentally add they have some big athletes.
