Great win by the boys at the Vehicle City Soccer Classic to open up the 2024 season! The game featured sunshine mixed with heavy rain at times.

Elk Rapids opened up the scoring in the first half with a corner kick goal. The kick was headed into the crossbar which deflected back deep in the box to an Elk Rapids player who scored by redirecting off a players back. Powers countered late in the first half. Senior Leo Stravato began his 3 goal performance on the day with a successful PK.

The second half opened with Sophomore Mason Mather flying in to score from the left side of the net. Then, Leo Stavato scored his second goal with some beautiful passing that began with a Grant Robert’s cross through the goal mouth to Koen Hernandez who fed Stavato for the goal. Pretty soccer! Powers scoring ended with a free kick goal from by Stravato from 25 yards out! Awesome shot! Elk Rapids managed two late goals but Powers was able to hang on for the win. Great job by all the boys on the team! It was a total team effort. Next up Thursday vs. Fenton Tigers at Fenton.
