Bishop Kelly 2, Mountain Home 0

The Tigers suffered their first loss of the young boys soccer season Tuesday, losing to the Bishop Kelly Knights at Bishop Kelly 2-0.

"It was one of the most physical games I have ever seen," said Tiger boys soccer coach Jay Lockett after the game. "We didn't come to play in the first half, but the second half, we kept it even. We have lots of work still to do, but we're looking good. We just need to rebound now and get back on the winning track."

Jack Richelieu had 15 saves on goal for Mountain Home.

Jack Richelieu had six saves on goal and Gavin Guillen had two saves.

"It was a great win after the loss we had to Bishop Kelly," said Coach Lockett after the game. "It was a great rebound."

The win improved the Tigers to 3-1 on the season and in conference play. The Tigers hosted Skyview Tuesday, and travel to Emmett on Thursday.
