The Colts defeat the Rebels!
Written by Maximus Kilby
On Thursday, The Boys Soccer Team faced off against the West Jessamine Colts during the 12th Region Semifinals at Rebel stadium.
Both teams came out hot and fired up with aggression and battled to achieve a spot in the finals of Region 12. Early in the match, both teams had chances on goal but missed just wide. At the 26 minute mark, Boyle conceded a PK which resulted in 1-0 West Jessamine with the lead. After going down 1 in the first half the Rebels had an awakening, they stood back up with their heads held high coming back from halftime.
At the start of the second half both teams went underway battling to score on one another, The ball was traveling intensely box to box as the time was ticking. As the time was running out the Rebels had a couple of great chances, but were well defended by the West Jessamines defense. Emotions were skyrocketing for both teams as the time was running out. The score remained the same at 1-0 till the final whistle. Boyle is defeated and heartbroken as West Jessamine goes on to the final game of Region 12. Asking Micah Brown, a captain on the Boys team how he felt about the game “We fought hard and had our chances but the ball just didn’t bounce in our favor.”
The Rebels had a great season and all of the Senior boys had a great high school career, I'm lucky to have been a part of such a great program and to amazing coaches throughout my career.

Boys Soccer advances to the 12th Region Semi-finals!
Written by Bryce Combs
On October 15th, the boy's soccer team played Pulaski County in the first round of the Region 12 tournament. After an amazing district tournament run, the boys looked to carry the momentum into the region. The boys soccer team had many opportunities but could not find the back of the net. The game was 0-0 at the end of regulation and had to be decided in overtime. With 54 seconds left in the first overtime, Zach Kirchner finds the ball in the box and makes an incredible no-look pass to Alan Wireman and scores!!! Alan Wireman was asked his thoughts on the game and said that they “Survive and Advance.” The boys soccer team’s next game is on October 17th at Rebel Stadium against West Jessamine at 8:30 pm.
