Soccer Preview: Middleton vs. Vallivue
The Middleton Vikings will face off against the Vallivue Falcons at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Middleton is looking to tack another W on to their season record, something they couldn't quite do against Columbia on Thursday. Neither Middleton nor Columbia could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Hayden Jones and
Carter Chris scored both of Middleton's goals, bringing their combined season tally to six goals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Vallivue). Their defense stepped up to hand Emmett an 11-0 shutout on Saturday. Given the Falcons' advantage in MaxPreps' Idaho soccer rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Huskies are ranked 71st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
With that draw, Middleton's record moves to 1-7-1. As for Vallivue, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 4-1-2 record this season.
Middleton might still be hurting after the 4-0 loss they got from Vallivue in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Can Middleton avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
