Eagles Soar Over Fredericktown, 9-2

Boys’ soccer (6-12) arguably had their best performance all season in a 9-2 win over Fredericktown (3-9) on Tuesday, Oct. 10.

The Eagles sought redemption for a 9-3 loss they suffered the previous year and aimed to do so on their home turf.

Another factor that contributed to Sullivan’s victory was Cambrian Koch handing out Jolly Ranchers to anyone who assisted in scoring.
