Bishop Kelly 5, Mountain Home 1

The Tigers fell to the Bishop Kelly Knights 5-1 Monday in conference boys soccer at Bishop Kelly.

Juan Torres scored Mountain Home's lone goal on a penalty kick. Jorge Salinas had seven saves on goal for the Tigers.

"We played well till we went down a man," said Tigers boys soccer coach Mike Torres. "It's tough to play the number one team with a man down."

Mountain Home 3, Middleton 0

Mountain Home dominated the Middleton Vikings last Wednesday at home, beating the Vikings 3-0, in conference action at Eastside Park.

Alex Dominguez, David Arciniega and Juan Torres each scored a goal for the Tigers. Jorge Salinas had 14 saves on goal as goalkeeper.

"The kids all played a complete game, from the first minute to the last," said Coach Torres. "We had 85-90 percent of possession. They played excellent."

The win improved the Tigers to 2-6 in league play and 3-10-1 overall. Mountain Home closes out its regular season schedule this week. They played at Kuna on Monday and host Caldwell for Senior Night today Oct. 8, at 5:30 p.m. The District III 4A boys soccer tournament begins Oct. 13.
