The Eagles soccer team traveled to the game knowing a win would be tough to grab, but they came out for a fight. The night was young, the lights were bright and the teams were on the field awaiting for the referees whistle.

The first half was a whirl wind of plays, the Eagles able to maintain the ball for a period of time along with the Cowboys. Considering Riverdale was one of the best in league FC had came out on fire and capable of giving the Cowboys a fight for there money. The first half ended with the score tied 1-1.

Within the first few minutes of the second half the Cowboys pulled a point out of the hat. Throughout the game FC started to accumulate several injuries but they came out slow and unwilling to fight for all of there work which they put into the game in the first half.

With 20 minutes left in the game the Cowboys had increased the score to 5-1. Defender and stopper Josh Carter was in a collision with marking back Amrit Paul Gill. Fearing a concussion the players were not taken off the field, both players had large amounts of blood flowing from their injuries. Ten minutes later play began and the Cowboys scored a final time, ending the game 6-1.

In the aftermath both players received relatively minor and short lasting injuries. The Feather sends their prayers to the players and hopes that they get better.

Junior Andrew Moore was shocked to see his teammates collide on the field, but was thankful there were no serious injuries.

“I turned around just in time to see Josh and Amrit run into each other,” Moore said. “Thankfully though neither one of them were injured to seriously and were back at school the next day. Hopefully this doesnt happen again and we can keep our team healthy.”

The Eagles will next play the Caruthers Blue Raiders on Feb. 10.
