Mounts tie with Eagles
- 06 September 2019
Cocalico’s Aaron Weitzel sent shots high and wide of the Ephrata goal during Thursday’s nonleague boys soccer clash in Ephrata.
But with 6:49 left in regulation and his team trailing by one, the junior drew a foul in the box and buried the penalty kick, netting the equalizer in a 1-1 draw between the backyard rivals.
FREDERICKSBURG — After both teams suffered Week One blowout losses, Ephrata and Northern Lebanon were looking to answer some questions heading into Friday’s Lancaster- Lebanon League Section Three opener.
In the first of Tuesday’s semifinals, the Knights (13-4) jumped out to an 8-3 lead over the Mountaineers (14-5) then went cold, as Hempfield was held to one goal over the second and third quarters.
Zach Werner lined up on the sun-soaked javelin runway at Ephrata for one final series of throws on his home turf. The Ephrata boys were closing in on a Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two title — their first in 30 years — and the senior thrower wanted to have a hand in history as the Mountaineers marched toward a 106-44 win over visiting Solanco.
