Shelby soccer piles up the goals in win over Kent City

Shelby dominated Friday's home game with Kent City and put away an 8-0 win by mercy rule, with the game stopping at halftime.
"(We) came out firing on all cylinders, and were able to put an immense amount of pressure on the Eagle defense," Shelby coach Joe Gorton said. "The scoring chances were fast and furious, and we quickly put a couple in the back of the net."
Annabelle Stark had two goals for the Tigers (5-1-1), who spread the wealth throughout the game as it became clear they would be able to create plenty of opportunities. Brixtyn Friedman accounted for two assists and scored her first varsity goal in the final minute to polish off the win.
Ari Garza, Lydia Soelberg, Kylie Brown, Kylee Hanson and Olivia Rogers also found the net for Shelby in the win.
"The girls played very well after a long week, and I was most impressed by their unselfishness and their willingness to contribute in different ways as we sought to mix up the lineup as the game progressed," Gorton said. "Their excitement for their teammates was contagious."
