The Mt. Vernon High School boys soccer team beat New Palestine High School in penalty kicks on Tuesday, August 29, 2017.

At home, the Marauders scored early in the first half, keeping their defense strong. New Pal didn’t tie the game up (3-3) until the last 3 minutes of the game. This tie lead to conversions, and the game got immensely intense.

The PK shoot out went 5-4, with Mt. Vernon’s Braxton Beaty scoring the winning PK. Other Marauders that made their PK’s include, Drew Heitman, Logan Angelopoulos, Michael McKeeman, Jonathon Hanson, and Jacob Knepper.

The boys played their conference match on September 12th, against Shelbyville at home.
