 Mountaintop Sports made its way to Stonecrest Sports Complex on Wednesday night for the boys 15th region, all a soccer tournament. Martin County took charge against Pikeville in the nightcap and the Cardinals' crews to an 11-1 win over Pikeville. Bobby Hill scored five goals and assisted on two other goals, while Reese Merrill added four goals and one assist. Justin Barker scored two other goals and had two assists. Goalkeeper Ethan Frey had three saves and allowed just one goal. The Cardinals advanced to Thursday night's championship match against a defending 15th region champion Prestonsburg. The Black Cats beat Paintsville 10-0 in Wednesday night's opening match. Matt Birchett and Isaiah Collins had three goals apiece in the win.

We had a chance to talk with legendary coach Phillip Haywood about this week's game. He earned his 450th victory last week in the Pirates 33-13 victory over Pulaski County. Even though it's a big rivalry game between Pikeville and ourselves, it's almost like a second scrimmage. We're still learning about ourselves at this time of the year, who can play and or we've got kids at the right position and things like that because we've got a lot of youngsters out there playing this year and we're still trying to figure out who can play best and who can play what and what moves we need to make. With a limited practice time, you're going to go through that. Every team is going to be similar to us depending on who they have back and what their strategies are. With Mountaintop Sports, I'm Cody Davis. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
