Patriots clobber Southside (09/25/07)
Local roundup
After scoring just two goals in its previous three games, the Jay County High School boys soccer team matched that effort in the first five minutes Monday.
Patriot sophomore Brad Horn scored two quick goals and Trey Dunn and Isaac Poole added a pair as well in a 9-2 destruction of the visiting Muncie Southside Rebels.
Horn put Jay County (6-4-4, 2-1 Olympic Athletic Conference) in control in a hurry with his first score less than three minutes into the game. He hit his second goal two minutes later, and Jordan Moser added a tally at the 26:10 mark to push the lead to 3-0.
Justen Moser and Chase Ainsworth each contributed single tallies to go along with those from Dunn and Poole.
The Patriots finished with 14 shots on goal compared to just five for the Rebels. Kevin Dirksen recorded two saves without allowing a score before turning over goalie duties to Adam Daniels and Justen Moser.
