F-F H.S. Highlights for Sept. 15


The Chambersburg boys soccer team won its third straight game, and raised its goal total on those games to 12 after opening the season by being shut out twice, by beating Cedar Cliff on Thursday afternoon.

The Trojans (3-2, 2-2 MPC Commonwealth) outshot the Colts 27-3 and got goals by Connor Gniewek, Asher Schwartz and Nathan Maynard.

"It was our first shutout, and that's a bit surprising," Chambersburg coach Corey Grove said. "Of the five goals we've given up, four have been on us. So I was glad to see a shutout to get the confidence up."

Goalkeeper Jacob Dougal needed to make only two saves.

Gniewek scored in the first half with an assist to Maynard. In the second half, Schwartz's goal was helped by Yohan Sebastien, and Maynard finished off the scoring.

Grove said, "It was one of Nathan's better games, so I was glad to see him get a goal. Rene (Quintanilla) has been a beast in the middle lately. This was a big game for us - it's always tough to play in that big field. We focused on spreading the field wide and did a good job of that."

Waynesboro 3, Shippensburg 0: Derek Buhrman continued his recent scoring binge and led the Indians to a Mid Penn Colonial Division shutout over the Greyhounds (2-4, 1-3 MPC). Waynesboro (6-1, 4-0 MPC) has won six straight games.

He was assisted by Aaron Tylicki on his first-half goal, then he converted a penalty kick and scored unassisted in the second half. George Souders needed only one save for his shutout, as ’Boro outshot Ship 27-6.
