The Raiders' Austin Fruth opened the scoring in the eighth minute, chasing down Christian Winter's perfectly executed leading pass and converting. We put a little pressure on them in practice.'Įast Carter (10-7-2) put some pressure on the Lions, too, on Monday.

'For the first time in my entire career, we have practiced penalty kicks for the past week and a half,' Price said, 'because I didn't want to get caught in a situation again (having not done so).

'Just feels like a dream, being able to be back in the region finals once again.' 'I just saw JB trying to make a cross or a shot and just saw it right there,' Chaffin said of the ball at his feet. Boyd County won, 2-1, at Rowan County's Paul Ousley Stadium to advance to Wednesday's region tournament final for the first time in three years.
