The Olympic Heights Lions will square off against the Palm Beach Central Broncos at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Olympic Heights is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 3.9 goals per game this season.
If Palm Beach Central heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Olympic Heights took over last week. Olympic Heights sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over Spanish River on Tuesday. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 16th, while the Sharks are ranked 214th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Caua Santos and
Enzo Kunz scored both of Olympic Heights' goals, bringing their combined season tally to 13 goals.
Meanwhile, Palm Beach Central has been on a difficult stretch since their win on November 15. Neither they nor Glades Central could gain the upper hand on Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. The Broncos had to tread lightly for part of the matchup as Andres Cabrera and Zachary Velmosky were both handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
The victory made it two in a row for Olympic Heights and bumps their season record up to 8-1. With that draw, Palm Beach Central's record moves to 3-4-3.
