The Smith-Cotton Tigers scored four times in the second half, including three goals in the first seven minutes of the half, to beat the Pleasant Hill Roosters 5-1 on Wednesday at Susie Ditzfeld Field.
“Intensity was a whole lot better,” said Smith-Cotton’s Zack Volk. “We were slow the first half and we were just struggling to put anything together.”
