THS coach Brian Kroll had some choice words for his team before the first overtime, but he was jubilant about 25 minutes later. After no score in the first 10-minute overtime, THS was about get its first tie of the season in the second overtime when Maranatha was called for a handball in the box just as time was expiring.

Captain Logan Williams, who connected on a penalty kick in the first half, repeated the feat in the second overtime and then celebrated with his teammates after the unlikeliest of scenarios.

Minutes after the match finished and Kroll had celebrated with his team, he reflected on the game that moved THS to 4-0 for the week and 8-1 overall.

“I’ll take it,” he said with a smile.

James Breedlove score just a few minutes into the game at the 37:21 mark and THS had a 1-0 lead. Williams added the penalty kick shot with 19:57 left in the first half.
