Sullivan West and Liberty battle to a scoreless overtime stalemate in key league tilt

By RICHARD A. ROSS

JEFFERSONVILLE, NY—Shakespeare’s words came to mind for the second time this week at yet another remarkable soccer match.

“Past is prologue,” from “The Tempest” fueled the story of the Liberty girls overtime win over Tri-Valley. Macbeth’s “Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing” encapsulated the battle rematch fought between Sullivan West and Liberty’s boys on October 3.

Idiot? Certainly. Sound and fury? You bet! Signifying nothing? Absolutely not.

GRAHAMSVILLE, NY—Two types of football games captivate the imagination: defensive standoffs and wild-and-wooly offensive escapades.

In the crucial league match up between defending Class C champion Tri-Valley and visiting Millbrook on October 4, the former variety of football was nowhere in sight. Millbrook, abetted by a trio of Tri-Valley turnovers, outlasted a punch-counterpunch battle to the rarified tune of 66-57.
