Senior defensive back Christian Peterson, who says this was definitely his favorite game to play in, checked multiple lakeside players, and had the game winning assist.

“Christian had a tight assist to help us win the game,” said junior Lucas Gordon. “He was looking at the whole field and saw Scott open on the wing on a fast break. It was definitely one of the coolest moments of the season.”

The team is heading into the second half of the season with a solid 5-4 record and a whole lot of positive team morale.
