An Emotional Win for Tino! POWERS 1 – IMLAY CITY 0
Boys Varsity SoccerWearing the number 5 on their wrists to honor ailing teammate Tino Jamison and with everything on the line, the Powers Chargers rallied together for a hard-fought victory over the tenacious Imlay City Spartans.

Senior Leo Stravato found an opening on the right side of the box but, under heavy defensive pressure, opted to pass left to a streaking Logan Johnson, who buried the shot! It was a brilliant display of teamwork that secured the win. The rest of the match was a defensive battle.
