Staff Report
Ethan Drugatz, Ben Drugatz and Jordan Manikas scored first-half goals to lead visiting Cherry Valley-Springfield to a 3-0 Tri-Valley League boys soccer victory over Laurens on Tuesday.
“We played better in the second half,” Laurens coach Dave Miller said. “We did not play well in the first half. Of course, we haven’t played a team of that caliber to this point. (CV-S coach) Terri (Adams) continues to put out top-notch, well coached teams. It’s pretty impressive.”
Ben Drugatz scored 11 minutes into play before Manikas and Ethan Drugatz scored three minutes midway through the half.
“That’s exactly how they play,” Miller said of the Patriots’ short-passing game. “That’s what they like to do, they do it well and it’s hard to defend.”
CV-S, the defending Section Four Class D champion, had a 10-1 advantage in shots.
David Fraser made six saves for the Leopards (1-2, 1-2), who travel to Morris on Friday.
Milford 3, G-MU 1

Neyen Romano scored late in the first half for the Raiders.
Coley answered 13 minutes into the second half for Milford.
G-MU (1-2, 1-2) is at the Greene Tournament on Friday.
Morris 4, Edmeston 0

Margaretville 1, SK 0
