ROCK SPRINGS – After the first day of the 4A Soccer State Tournament, the east again showed its power. However, the Green River Wolves were able to break through to the semi-finals.

Green River and Cheyenne East went back and forth for the first 20 minutes of the game. The Wolves were finally able to break through in the 24th minute as Victor Alatorre gave Green River 1-0 lead. This was the way the first half ended.

East had 10 shots in the first half and needed only 12 minutes to get the first shot of the second half. Green River’s defense held strong and in the 43 minute scored again. Two Wolves  attacked on high-bouncing corner kick in front and put it in.

East added a late goal but the Wolves were able to hang on for a berth in the semi-finals.

For the Lady Wolves, the opening round did not turn out like they had hoped. Laramie started fast and never let up taking a 5-0 lead at the half. Green River finally got on the board in the 54th minute on a blast from six yards out by Taylor Stoeger  but Laramie cruised to the 7-1 win.

 

Rock Springs

For the Rock Springs Tigers, it was a game of inches. Rock Springs was without Eric Ramirez who received a red card in the Regional Tournament. It took 32 minutes for the first goal as Laramie’s Noah Snider’s found the goal and the 1-0 lead.  Rock Springs had several shots hit every part of the goal except inside the net.

Laramie added a second goal to start the second half. Rock Springs finally got on the scoreboard in the 77th minute but just could not get through.

On the ladies side, Gillette took control of Rock Springs early but only had a 2-0 lead at the break. The Lady Camels came out of the locker room strong and scored four goals to take down Rock Springs 6-0.
