G-K penalty kick opens up scoring in victory
September 11, 2012
Genoa-Kingston High SchoolA slow start didn’t stop Genoa-Kingston from attaining its seventh victory of the season on Monday.
The Cogs got two goals from Uriel Ortega and a goal and an assist from senior Devin Tijerina as G-K beat Rockford Christian, 4-1, in a Big Northern Conference East Division battle.
“We did not play well the first half,” G-K coach Randy Tate said. “The defense, with William Crozier leading the way, did a great job keeping us in the game.”
Tijerina’s penalty kick late in the first half opened the scoring for G-K (7-2, 2-1 BNC East).
The Cogs face Richmond-Burton in another BNC game on the road Wednesday.
