• • • continued from page 1B
contest, Madison County was also ahead by one goal
with less than two minutes remaining when Franklin
somehow managed to find a way to score and force an
overtime shootout. The Cubs won the shootout and the
match, but the 3-2 win for Franklin was not enough to
deny the Mustangs their share of the region title.
“Those two games against Franklin were enough to
make an old man out of you,” said Mustangs coach David
Yeary. “The match on Thursday was one of the best
played matches I’ve ever seen in middle school and high
school, and Saturday’s final was just an all-out war.”
Ironically, it make have been Franklin’s Thursday vic
tory that helped set up its defeat on Saturday. After win
ning Thursday to force the regular-season tie, Franklin
won a coin flip to determine the No. 1 seed in the region
tournament. Although Madison had to face a high seed
in the semifinals, Yeary said he would not have traded
places with Franklin.
“It didn’t bother me a bit that we lost the coin flip
(for No. 1 seed),” said Yeary. “Going in No. 2 placed us
against Stephens County, a team we had handled with
ease in both matches during the season. Franklin had to
face host Elbert County, and they took us to overtime in
the match on their field in the regular season.”
As it turned out, Franklin did face a hard-fought battle
before stopping the tournament-host Rams. Meanwhile,
the Mustangs barely broke a sweat in downing Stephens
4-1. Most of the Mustangs’ first two tiers of players were
sitting on the sidelines of the match, leaving them well
rested for the final.
“We clearly had more left in the tank in the overtime,”
said Yeary. “But the important thing was that our players
did not allow the goal at the end of regulation to cause
them to lose focus. They picked themselves up and kept
on playing quality soccer.”
In the final match, Jaylan White had put the Mustangs
ahead just six minutes into the contest when he chested
in a throw-in from Mallard for the only score of the first
half. A converted penalty kick three minutes into the
second half knotted the game at 1, then Bryan Antonio
pushed in his seventh goal of the season to give the
Mustangs the lead again with less than five minutes to
play, setting up the last-second Franklin heroics that
forced overtime.
“There have been some great games between the top
two teams in the region over the years,” said Yeary,
whose teams have won 28 of their last 32 contests. “But
I don’t think there has ever been a season were the top
two teams played three games the quality of the three
played by Madison and Franklin this year. We defeated
them the first region game of the year 1-0 at home, and
then we had two overtime battles at Franklin and in the
tournament. Both teams deserved to take home both the
region and tournament titles. It’s a credit to the quality of
our players’ skill, determination and heart that they came
out on top.”
In the semifinal against arch-rival Stephens, Chandler
Kyle used a high lob and a scorching liner to account for
the first two goals, while Antonio knocked in his seventh
of the year to put the Mustangs up 3-0 by halftime. Eli
Dixon booted in his first career goal to wrap up the scor
ing for Madison County.
“Madison County Middle School has been blessed with
some outstanding boys soccer teams over the years,”
said Yeary, whose team finished the season with a 9-1
record. “Twice since 1996 MCMS has been unbeaten and
untied. This year’s team may have not been unbeaten, but
it certainly ranks high among the list of great Mustang
teams.”
