The Walter R. Johnson boys soccer team jumped out to a huge halftime lead, scoring all its goals in the opening 25 minutes of a 6-0 Foothills Athletic Conference victory last Thursday over host Liberty.
The Yellow Jackets’ Franklin Sierra scored the game’s first goal (3:45) off a ricochet when Spencer Memmel’s shot bounded off the upper bar and Sierra booted in the missed shot.
WJMS scored its second goal from seventh-grader Joey Sandy off an assist from Adonis Domingo at the six-minute mark. Esteban Berrospe added the Jackets’ third tally at 14:00, and Memmel found the back of the net with the fourth goal at 17:15.
Sierra, off Domingo’s second assist, fired in a 22-yarder from the right side for WJMS’ fifth goal (19:45). The Yellow Jackets’ final score came 90 seconds later when Cesar Torres (assist by Santiago Morris) found the back of the net.
WJMS used two goalies in the match. Starter Ezequiel Rojas recorded three saves in the opening half, while Sebastian Perez gathered one save.
Liberty keeper Juan Carlos finished with eight saves, and the Knights’ midfield – Skylar Durham, Will Kirk and Thomas Messenheimer – provided a huge push in the second half, while defender Jacob Byrd led the back row.
