Prep soccer: Larson, Kasnitz combine to spring Polson boysPOLSON – The Polson boys’ soccer team picked up its first Northern A win in thrilling fashion on Tuesday in a home barnburner against Bigfork. Trailing 1-0 with 10 minutes to play, the Pirates rallied for two goals and a 2-1 victory. James Larson scored the tying goal in the 70th minute and five minutes later made a feed to Jonah Kasnitz for the game-winner. “This one is one we needed to get back on track for what we’re wanting to do this season,” said Polson coach Jess Kittle, whose team improved to 1-4-0 in league play, 2-5-0 overall. “We’ve had quite a few tough losses in a row. “It’s great see these guys come from behind and work so hard. They held a shutout for the last 77 minutes against a team that scored six goals when we played them earlier. That says a lot.” The game-winning score by Kasnitz came just before Bigfork keeper Dillon Hilling could get his hands on the ball after coming out from in front of the net. Kittle credited Kasnitz for his poise in an anxious situation. Anthony Fopp scored the only goal for Bigfork (3-2-1, 5-3-1) in the third minute. Spencer Kittle, son of coach Jess Kittle, had seven saves in goal for the Pirates.

Central boys 9, Laurel 1 For the first 15 minutes the match looked like it could be a tight contest. But Kylen Laber put a ball past the high Laurel defense to Braedon Trunkle, who dribbled the ball in from about 45 yards and found the back of the net for the first score. A mere minute later, Sheehy had his first goal of the night by outworking the Laurel defense and covering about 25 yards for a 2-0 lead. It was all Rams after that. “We tried to play a more open game on the sides, to make (the defense) split,” Ndedi said. “If we have them split, we have space, we have room.” The Rams (9-1-0) had plenty of that, and plenty of chances. They had 29 shots, a majority of them one-on-one situations against keeper Walter Olson, and Laber, Trunkle and Brandon Peterson each added two goals. Central players continually made runs through the Laurel defense, including one time when Sheehy broke toward the goal and Connor McDonnel hit him on a throw-in. Sheehy raced about 40 yards and did the rest for his second goal and a 6-0 lead just before half. Ndedi was pleased that his team listened to his mantra of keeping things simple. “I like the way they passed the ball,” he said. “The way they were confident in their passing. This is what I wanted to give to them, that confidence of how to use the ball. When you have that, the rest is going to come easy, and they had it, and the goals came easy.” Laurel avoided the shutout when Evan Jones curled a long kick high into the corner of the net from about 30 yards. It was the final play of the match.
