Hondo boys’ soccer headed to CL tourney

 

     The Hondo boys’ soccer team continued seeking its first win of the season, dropping an exciting match, 4-3, to New Braunfels Long Creek Friday night, Jan. 9, at Barry Field.

     The Owls struck twice to lead at halftime 2-1. James Agee scored on a long goal from an assist by Drayzn Benavides, and Francisco Lopez followed that with a goal a few minutes later after a pass from Michael Delgado. The defense had a rough first 15 minutes of the second half, allowing three goals. Humberto Rocha scored on a penalty shot to bring Hondo closer, but the tying goal remained elusive.

     The boys’ team lost 5-1 to a fast and skilled Bandera team on Tuesday night, Jan. 13. Hondo’s defense was exposed early by giving up four first half goals. Michael Delgado made a brilliant pass to Lazerus DeLeon for Hondo’s lone goal.

     The Owls (0-4) play in the Canyon Lake Tournament on Thursday, Jan. 15, against Canyon Lake HS, Friday, Jan. 16, against IDEA South Flores HS, and Saturday, Jan. 17 against Cole HS. They’ll travel to Navarro for a 7 p.m. game on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
