Spencer Klug scored two goals on assists from Emmanuel Gil as the Hockinson boys soccer team capped at 12-0 league record with a 3-0 win over R.A. Long on Thursday.
It was the second consecutive Class 2A Greater St. Helens League title for the Hawks, who reached the Class 2A state semifinals last year.
“We’re hoping to make another run and see what happens,” Hockinson coach Ron Sparks.
Sparks said Thursday’s win was another example of what has kept Hockinson rolling this season — strong team play.
“We’ve had 10 different players score goals for us, and 11 different players have an assist this season,” Sparks said. “We have a very strong midfield of some top-level players and a fabulous freshman on top (Mitchell Pinney). But really it’s our midfield of Langdon Roscoe, Brett Sparks and Shawn Marion that run the show. And we have a goalkeeper (Casey Turner) who has thrown seven shutouts.”
Hockinson will open the 2A district tournament against North Thurston at 6 p.m. Saturday at Battle Ground’s District Stadium.
