Adams County Christian School ended its soccer season in the blink of an eye.

St. Aloysius’s Gradon Bourne scored two goals in the final 10 minutes, giving his team the upper edge to defeat ACCS Monday in the first round of MAIS Class AAA playoffs, 4-1.

“We had a very good first half, but after that the ball didn’t bounce our way,” Rebel coach Jim Bob Allgood.

Bourne’s first shot opportunity came from a penalty kick, and the second off a free kick.

“He just buried them in the back of the net,” Allgood said.

St. Al was first to score on a breakaway from Jack Dowe just seven minutes into the game.

After ACCS goalkeeper Jacob McDaniel booted a save halfway downfield creating a open opportunity for Cristofer Thompson, the Rebels were able to tie the game late in the first half, 1-1.

The Flash responded, however, by punching in a second easy goal from Dowe in the final minute of the first half, giving it the 2-1 halftime advantage.

Without five of his starting players, St. Al coach Scott Mathis said Dowe usually plays on defense, yet his fast pace was vital in the win.

“We didn’t know up we would have to play like that until during the game because we’ve never played (ACCS),” he said. “(Dowe) can play anywhere I need him. Once we had that fast break it opened up the opportunity to score.”

Although Thompson’s goal would be the last time it found the net, ACCS didn’t never gave up.

Senior Kyle Williams took multiple shots on the goal in the second half in attempt to get the Rebels into a late rhythm.

“I was giving everything I had,” he said. “My legs were giving out, but one goal would have meant the world to me. Just one.”

The Rebels (17-2) finished with the best record in school history.

“These aren’t just teammates, they are brothers,” Williams said. “We worked hard. We started this season young and made our way to the top. We learned our positions to get to where we are today.”
