Stunning comeback win for Bobcats
Boys' Soccer
B-G 3, Greene 2 (OT)
BAINBRIDGE – Before the season, B-G coach Pete Feltham hoped his team could compete with the best in the Midstate Athletic Conference.
After Wednesday's win over Greene, Feltham knows his team can not only compete, it can defeat the top teams.
Kyle Hanvey's second goal of the game in the final minute of the second overtime gave the unbeaten Bobcats their fifth straight win to start the season.
Not just that, it was B-G's first win over Greene in Feltham's two-decade tenure as coach. "We were pressing forward pretty hard at the end of the game," Feltham said. "And I was concerned we were giving up too much defensively and would be exposed in transition on a fast break. It did happen one time in overtime, but Brandt (McCall, B-G goalie) made a nice save."
Feltham's crew had to shuffle its lineup due to in-game injuries to a starting defender and midfielder. Hanvey started the game as a midfielder, moved to defense after the injury, then was pushed up to the forward line in the second half.
"It was the kids' decision (to move Hanvey)," Feltham said. "I have a lot of seniors on the team, it was their call, and it's what they wanted to do."
Part of the rotation switch moved Daniel Norris to defense as well. "The kids know what each one is capable of," Feltham said.
Greene was poised to extend its own perfect record scoring twice to take a comfortable lead into intermission. Chris Klecha and Luke Day had the tallies for Greene. Down two goals and two starters, B-G didn't panic.
"I said that we needed to keep our heads, play through the injuries, and treat the game like it was a 0-0 tie," Feltham said, "and work our way back into it."
Jake Cuozza pared the Greene lead to one, and Hanvey tied the game with 10:53 left in regulation scoring after a through pass from Zach Smith. "Greene's keeper did a great job tonight, but Kyle had a pretty good strike on the tying goal," Feltham said.

MUNNSVILLE – Otselic Valley avenged a shutout loss from earlier in the week scoring three second-half goals in a victory over Stockbridge Valley Wednesday.
