CV-S boys move to 9-1 with victory over rival
By ERIC AHLQVIST
Cooperstown Crier
LAURENS — Monday’s rematch
of last year’s Tri-Valley
boys Championship and Section
Four Class D title game ended
much the same way as the first
two — with a Cherry Valley-
Springfield victory.
The Patriots made a second
half goal by Chip Taylor stand up
in a 1-0 victory over Laurens
Monday, the first league loss for
the Leopards on the season. CV-S
wasted several good scoring opportunities
before Taylor was
able to score with 14 minutes remaining
in the second half.
CV-S’s Mike Cagganello hit a
low shot which Laurens goalie
Aaron Laing dove and tipped
away, but Taylor gathered in the
carom and hit a hooking shot
which bounced off the right post
and into the goal.
``Usually when you don’t take
advantage of your scoring opportunities
it comes back to haunt
you, but we were able to hang
on,’’ said CV-S head coach Terri
Adams. ``I was impressed with
the play of both teams, this game
was played at a very high level of
skill and intensity.’’
Taylor missed on a one-andone
opportunity with Laing moments
after scoring his first goal,
and took a perfect feed from teammate
Seth Drugatz and hit the
right post with a low shot a minute
later.
With the win, CV-S improved
to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in Tri-Valley
play. They hold a two game
lead in the T-V East over Schenevus.
Laurens is 6-2 overall and
4-1 in league play and hold a one
game lead over Morris in the
West. The teams meet at 3 p.m.
Saturday in Laurens in the Leopards’
Homecoming Game.
``Every year is different and
we’re learning how to play together
and our theme is just to
try and keep improving,’’ Adams
said. ``We didn’t look at this as a
rematch game from last year, just
another game to try and play our
game and keep trying to get better.’’
CV-S hosted G-MU Wednesday
and have another rematch
from year on Saturday when they
travel to Poland. Poland defeated
CV-S in overtime in a state quarterfinal
last November.
``That will be a great nonleague
test for us,’’ Adams said.
``It should be interesting.’’
