Bobcats stay alive; Diggers head to state
REXBURG -- The Madison Bobcats lived to play another day.
The Bobcats got goals from Ty Shiffler and Kelton Peck on Tuesday to defeat Highland 2-0 in a 5A District IV-V-VI loser-out match at Madison Middle School in Rexburg.
"I thought we played a pretty good game," said Madison coach Joe Paredes. "We had several chances to add to the lead."
S h i f f l e opened the scoring for the Bobcats in the 27th minute of the match on an assist from Daniel Fisher. In the 10th minute of the second half, Peck kicked in a shot off a corner kick from Jason Ward.
"We had to win it," Paredes said. "The seniors - Kelton Peck, Daniel Fisher and Ty Shiffler - all did a superb job of picking up the younger kids."
With the season on the line, the Bobcats left it all out on the field.
"We were just going after the ball," the Madison coach said. "We knew we had to win the game."
With the win, the Bobcats will face Twin Falls in another loser-out match on Thursday in Rexburg.
"We've got to come out with the same mentality," Paredes said.
The winner of Thursday's match will advance to the district's second-place match on Saturday.
