Here are some local high school varsity sports recaps from Saturday’s events:
Varsity Boys Soccer: McGraw vs. Bishop Ludden
| Team | 1st | 2nd | Final |
| Mcgraw | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Bishop Ludden | 1 | 1 | 2 |
The McGraw Eagles lost 0-2 against Bishop Ludden at home on Saturday. With this loss, McGraw has fallen to an overall record of 3-2.
“We almost got to half with a tie game,” said McGraw head coach Jamie Crumb. “Our team was a little depleted today, missing a few players and we got a little tired. Their second goal was also with just a minute left in the game.”
Crumb continued by saying that, “Ludden is a very good team and we played our tails off. We have to do better with our possessions and find a way to put the ball in the net, and we will look to do that this week.”
Bishop Ludden’s goals were scored by Jimmy Westers and Jack Ruddy.
Up next, McGraw will play Otselic Valley at home today (Monday, September 18th) at 4:30pm.
