The Hoopeston Area Cornjerker Soccer team jumped back into VVC play against Iroquois West. The Cornjerkers improved their VVC record to 6-0 with a 4-1 victory. Kayden Wallace got the Cornjerkers on the board at the twenty minute mark of the first half by getting his head on the ball after Nick Hofer fired a throw-in pass to him. Less than two minutes later Talen Gredy found himself in a perfect spot to make it 2-0 after Hofer once again made a great crossing pass. Nick Hofer scored with five minutes and twenty-seven seconds to make the score 3-0. Iroquois West's only score came right before halftime when Andreade Santiago was able to convert after a Cornjerker mistake.
The only goal of the second half was when goalie Owen Root punted the ball across the halfline and Talen Gredy took four dribbles and made a very nice shot in the lower left corner. Owen Root was the winning goalie with two saves. The Cornjerkers record sits at 9-4-1 overall and 6-0 in VVC. The Cornjerkers will host Watseka on Thursday.
The Cornjerker Volleyball Team travelled to Salt Fork and lost to the hosting Storm 25-14, 25-10. They return home to face Urbana University High Thursday night.
