On Oct. 24, Wallace Middle School had an exciting event, the annual soccer tournament where the Wallace Colts faced off against their cross-town rivals the South Fork Mustangs.

This year the tournament was held at Kern Valley High School due to the construction of new Wallace campus, and would see the Wallace teams dominating their contests by winning five games and tying one.

The first two games started out with the sixth grade girls on one field and seventh grade boys on another. Courtney Debski was unscored upon while playing goalie. She was a great help to the success of the Wallace sixth grade girls as time after time she defended the net; refusing to let a single ball past her. Brandi Perry, scored the winning goal for the Lady Colts. The final score was 1-0.

The seventh grade boys scored five goals in their contest against the Mustangs. The final score was 5-1.

The relentless offense of Evan Moore, who scored three goals, Garret Creech, and Taylor Cross proved too much for their opponents to handle.

South Fork’s only goal was made by Matt Sangster late in the game. Next up was the eighth grade girls. Both teams started out with tough defense. The ball was flying back and forth between the two teams, with both goalies stopping most of the shots at their net.

The first goal was scored by Miko of the Lady Mustangs. The next goal was scored by the Lady Colts Haliee Adams. The second half of this defensive match was intense. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.

The sixth grade Colts played with amazing offensive dominance. The game went flying by as Wallace continued to score goal after goal. Chase Oden and Shane Hawk scored three goals each, concluding their contest with a score of 6-0 win over their Mustangs opponents.

The eighth grade boys and seventh grade girls played the final two matches.

The eighth grade game started off with a quick score by the Colts Johnny Chase. Soon after Robert Ennis, Connor Fisher, and Elvis Chavez got their feet into the action chipping in goal after goal.

The Mustangs players Nick and Brandon Vittoria helped their cause by scoring a total of three goals.

But in the end South Fork’s defense wasn’t able to hold off the Wallace assault, as the Colts came out on top 5-3.

The tournament ended with the seventh grade girls. Once again the Lady Colts would come out on top, playing an amazing match which ended with a score of 4-0 (individual player stats were not available).
