The San Ramon Valley High boys soccer team entered Wednesday night's Tri-Valley Classic in the driver's seat, and left it in even better shape after a 2-1 win over upstart Freedom. <\/p>\n
The win, coupled with losses by Amador Valley and Monte Vista, leaves the Wolves six points clear and firmly in control entering Saturday. <\/p>\n
Freedom was just three points off the pace entering the match, but needed a win to stay in the race. <\/p>\n
San Ramon Valley (3-0-0) took control of what was an even game for most of the first half with a goal late in the first half, then scored again early in the second half. <\/p>\n
\"For it being so early in the season, I thought we did a lot of good things,\" San Ramon Valley coach Don Busboom said. \"We tried to keep possession and get ourselves forward. It wasn't easy because Freedom is a good team and put a lot of pressure on us.\" <\/p>\n
Jacob Wright scored the first goal, doing so on a ball that bounced around in the Freedom penalty area without being cleared and was finally put away. <\/p>\n
The Wolves looked very dangerous to start the second half, and a Kalle Sjorgell shot rebounded to Alex Raymond, who put it away. Sjorgell almost had another goal, but was denied by Falcons keeper Ethan Marchetti. <\/p>\n
Freedom (1-1-2) made the final minutes interesting as Larry Aguayo scored in the 73rd minute, leading to a furious finish as it sought an equalizer. <\/p>\n
The Falcons had a couple of great chances early, but sophomore keeper J.T. Carlson did well when called into action to deny Jahrie Gray and Oscar Munoz. <\/p>\n
