Asher Huseman scored two goals as Tonganoxie battled Baldwin to a 2-2 tie in the season opener for both teams Friday at BHS.

Baldwin jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal by Joel Dixon midway through the first half. Huseman — a returning All-State first-team selection — answered less than three minutes later, and the teams went into the break deadlocked at 1-1.

Huseman gave the Chieftains the lead with 22:32 to go in the second half, but Baldwin’s Eli Berndt found the back of the net to force another tie with 19:39 left. Neither team scored again in regulation or in two 10-minute overtime periods, and the game ended in a draw.

THS will open its Kaw Valley League schedule today against Bonner Springs at David Jaynes Stadium. The junior varsity game will begin at 4:30 p.m. and the varsity contest will immediately follow.
