HK Boys Soccer started off the Class S State Tournament with a convincing win over Wheeler HS. Luca Piacenti got the Cougers off to an early lead in the 7th minute, followed by a goal from Tristen Edwards in the 15th minute. Just 10 minutes later Ethan Eddinger made a nice pass to Tristen who tacked on his second goal of the game putting HK up 3-0. Wheeler did manage to score just before halftime making it 3-1 at the break. Ten minutes into the second half Nolan Sheppard went on a scoring spree. First he took a pass from Tristen scoring his 1st goal in the 50th minute. Two minutes later Leart Krasnicki assisted Nolan on his second goal, and just 1 minute later Noland got his hat trick unassisted. Wheeler scored again in the 67th minute, but Nolan Eddinger got that goal right as he took a pass from Wyatt Boothroyd and put it in. Finally, Jonathan Cavrell scored his first goal of the year in the 78th minute with time winding down. HK will now face Shoreline Champion Morgan HS in the quarter finals on Monday November 9th at home.
