Independence needed a win
to get things back on track for their season in the most
desperate way. Monday night they faced a team that could give
them the medicine they needed to accomplish that goal, a
victory. The Eagles squared off against a struggling Hillwood
Hilltoppers team Monday. For the Eagles Chad Roberts did not
struggle at all in this match up. Roberts blasted two goals
past the Topper's goalie. Also, Shane Powell and Matt King added
to the scoring frenzy for the Eagles with each tapping in a
goal. The Eagles get their first official win of the regular
season after going undefeated in the pre season. The 4-1 victory
for the Eagles brings their overall record to 1-1-1 on the young
season.
Wednesday the
Independence squad will travel to Overton (Nashville) for
another key district matchup. Game time is for 7:00 pm. This
weekend, starting Friday night, the Eagles will host the IHS
invitational. Friday the Eagles battle Dobyns Bennett at 5:00
pm. Then Saturday play two games at 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.
