Tuesday Sports Roundup:
Big comeback sends
Franklin/Unatego past Milford/Laurens

STAFF REPORT • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

The Milford/Laurens boys soccer team jumped out to an early 2-0 first half lead over Franklin/Unatego, but couldn’t hold on, falling 4-2, in a Tri-Valley League game in Laurens on Tuesday, Sept. 21.

Brock Mann sent a pass to Donta Sherwood who ran onto it and scored the game’s first goal 22 minutes into the match. With six minutes to go in the half, Mann setup teammate Justin LaPilusa to put M/L up, 2-0.

The second half wasn’t kind to M/L though as Franklin/Unatego took only eight minutes to score and cut the host’s lead to 2-1. Ten minutes later, Franklin/Unatego went on a three-goal spree in the span of two minutes. The last of the three goals came on a penalty kick where Matt Serrao beat M/L keeper Chase Long with a low shot to the left corner.

Serrao would finish the day with two goals, while Chase Birdsall and Braeden Johnson had the other goals for Franklin/Unatego and Jacob Kingsbury had two assists.
