BOYS SOCCER
Chambersburg 1, Gettysburg 0: Cole Myers produced a little bit of lightning in the waning seconds to lift the Trojans over the Warriors in their non-league season opener at Trojan Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Cole Myers

With the final seconds running out, Myers set up for a free kick about 20 yards out from Gettysburg’s goal. He struck it perfectly and curled it around the Warriors’ wall and into the lower right side of the net with 0:04 remaining on the clock.

“I thought we controlled the pace of the game for most of it,” Chambersburg coach Corey Grove said. “But we struggled to create in the final third; we had a lot of possession without much purpose. We did have three or four really good chances that we should have scored on.”

The Trojans out-shot Gettysburg 10-3 and led in corner kicks, 9-1. Chambersburg goalkeeper Garrett Carter had to make only one save to preserve the shutout.

Grove said, “I was pleased with the work rate and effort of the boys. And Aaron Maynard was strong in the middle and won everything.
