Game Summary
Truly one for the record books. Legacy got the win to set a new program record for most consecutive wins, and best start to a season. The game winner was a PK called 5 seconds before halftime. The game was stopped for unruly behavior three times before it was almost "abandoned" due to the MRHS fan base behavior. The PK proved to be the ultimate difference maker. Lots of attack by LHS, strong/hard/gritty/brave/athletic counter-attack by MRHS, and a huge performance by the MRHS GK kept the game close to the very end. Lots of stress...what a whopper!!!
