Avery men's soccer upended the Pisgah Bears 6-1 Monday night in a dominant road victory. Andrew Ingram recorded a hat trick in the match win, with goals from Kyle Griewisch and Austin Lyons."Pisgah is a rebuilding team, much as we are. We put J.C. and Andrew up front and it paid off immediately with a pair of long balls sent ahead and goals by Andrew in the first ten minutes," Coach Lou Brancourt said after the win. "We made a mistake in the back and gave up a goal to lead 2-1 at halftime."
The Avery coaching staff made adjustments during the match that proved to be wise as the Vikings offense exploded in the final 40 minutes of action. "J.C. was playing very hard, but was struggling a little, so we switched him with Kyle. Kyle took advantage by scoring a pair of goals," Coach Brancourt added. "Andrew scored his third goal, then Austin Lyons, one of our freshmen, scored his first goal."
Avery is 2-2 overall on the season and hosts North Henderson this afternoon before traveling to Highland Tech on Friday evening. "We made some mistakes, but we also did some good stuff. Scoring a lot of goals was nice, and it was easy to be positive with this win," Coach Brancourt explained. "North Henderson is a team we don't know very much about. We've played them well, but have lost to them each of the last two years when I know we could have beaten them. They tied Mitchell 3-3 and Pisgah 1-1. On paper I think it is a team we can beat, but we have a little payback in mind."
