ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday night was full of regional playoff action from quarterfinals to semifinals and even a region final on the lacrosse field.
In Region 2C girls soccer, defending Class 2 state champion Glenvar defeated district-foe Radford 3-2. Giuliana Stanley netted a late second half goal and while Kora Epperly did the same for the Bobcats, the Highlanders prevailed for their 9th consecutive win and a spot in the region semifinals.
On the boys side of Region 2C soccer, Glenvar defeated James River 9-1. The scoring happened early and often as the Knights started things off with a goal from Justin Hill. But that would James River’s lone goal for the night. The Highlanders responded just a few seconds later with a transition goal from Wesley Feliciano. That was followed up by a Cooper Mullins header off a corner kick for the 2-1 lead. Still in the first half, senior Colin Clapper pulled a off a sensation bicycle style kick for Glenvar’s third goal of the game as they marched to victory and a spot in the Region 2C semifinals.
In baseball action, Auburn defeated Galax 6-4 in a Region 1C semifinal. The game was tied 2-2 when bases were loaded for Damien Boyd who hit a a ball deep to left field. While Simon Hanks closed the inning with a strikeout for the Maroon Tide, damage had already been done.
