Highland comes back to beat the Patriots (09/25/06)
Local roundup
ANDERSON - A quick two-goal lead can often be insurmountable. But it was not enough for the Jay County boys soccer team Saturday.
The Patriots let a 2-0 lead slip away in less than 10 minutes and fell 3-2 to the Anderson Highland Scots Saturday.
The defeat was the third in a row for Jay County (5-6) and ended its chances of an outright Olympic Athletic Conference title.
Ryan Wellman scored just 8:22 into the game, and Mason Shreve added a goal from a Luke McClung assist just three minutes later. But the lead was short-lived.
Highland got on the scoreboard six minutes after Shreve's goal, and added a second tally before the mid-point of the opening half to tie the game. The score remained even for the next 55 minutes before the Scots scored the game-winner with just five minutes remaining.
The Patriots also dropped the junior varsity game 2-1, with the lone goal coming from Brad Horn.

FORT RECOVERY - The Anna Rockets jumped out to a 16-0 lead, but Fort Recovery would not be denied. The Indians held Anna scoreless over the final three quarters and rallied for a 20-16 junior varsity football victory Saturday.
Greg Kahlig and Eric Lamm got hot to spark the comeback, connecting on two of the Tribe's touchdowns.
The duo started the rally in the second quarter with a 6-yard scoring pass. Kahlig then found Eric Schmitz on a 55-yard strike to pull Fort Recovery within two points at the half.
Kahlig and Lamm hooked up again on a 5-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, and the Tribe defense stood strong to preserve the win.
