“The Indians played well as a team and found their rhythm moving the ball while keeping possession for most of the game. The Tribe kept their composure and sportsmanship throughout the contest even though their opponent was doing everything they could to hinder them. This was a great team effort to pull out the win,” stated Berkeley Springs head coach Randy Beal.

With their win over North Marion the Indians drew the tough task of taking on #1 seed Frankfort on Wednesday, October 18. Frankfort lived up to their billing as one of the top teams in the Class AA as they rolled by the Indians 11-1. Y un Changje scored the lone goal for the Indians off a penalty kick in the box.

“The boys ended the regular season 5-11 and went 1-1 in the playoffs for a season record of 6-12 coming up one win short of last season’s record.
