Warriors blank Mounts
- 24 October 2018
In the moments leading up to Warwick’s District Three Class 4A boys soccer first-round game with visiting Ephrata Tuesday, the Warriors congregated in a team huddle in the middle of the field. And with the wind howling around them, senior Robbie Heckman delivered an impassioned pregame speech.
“Every year I’ve been on this team,” the senior later said, “we went out in the first round of district playoffs. It was super hard for me as a player to watch the seniors walk off the field for the last time. I didn’t want any of the kids underneath me to have to see that, and I didn’t want to have to say goodbye to my boys for the last time tonight.”
Junior Abigail Weist’s second goal of the game with 26 seconds to play lifted the Ephrata Mountaineers out of the pressure cooker and into the second round of the District Three Class 4A girls soccer playoffs.
The building blocks have reached yet another high mark for the Ephrata Mountaineers.
