Congrats to the Rootstown HS Boys Soccer on the big win!! #PortageCountyStandUp

Nate Pastor continued his blistering form - scoring his 5th goal in 3 tournament games - as we knocked off No. 9 Lake Center Christian tonight in a 2-1 victory!

Blake Postlethwait headed home the game winner from a cross by Justin Farkash early in the second half!

Congratulations to Trent Gauer, whose 11 saves against Northwestern propelled him above the century mark for the third consecutive season!

Gauer also recorded his 9th shutout of the season, which ties Nathan Burrell (1997) and Dino Sorboro (2015) for the most in a single season!

Our District Semifinal at No. 9 Lake Center Christian will kick off on Tuesday, October 24 at 4:30pm.
