Little Rock Catholic Scores in the last seconds, continues with 1-0 victory over Rogers to the semi-finals

Bentonville – Aaron Estrada admitted that he had a feeling of urgency when he culminated at the scoreboard, and it seemed as if the Match by Little Rock Catholic was heading for extension.

However, the senior striker stopped this on Friday morning and did little time to save.

Estrada was in front of the goal and remained with 18.5 seconds to give the Rockets (15-2-1) a 1-0 quarter-final victory over Rogers during the class 6a football tournament in the Tiger Athletic Complex.

“I knew that I had to do something quickly if we didn't want to have any additional time,” said Estrada. “Fortunately, there was a chance and I had to score.

“My friend Cole (Harrington), he got it and tried to put it in. It went over and I was only there. I just hit it as hard as possible – only what I always do.”

Sam Heard began the last minute heroic heroism for Catholic, the top seeds of the 6A headquarters when he drove past two Rogers players and kicked the ball towards Harrington, which was stationed near the right side of the goal. Harrington then pushed the ball back into the middle of the network, where Estrada defeated two defenders for the goal.

“Throughout the game, we created a few chances that were unlucky to miss,” said Catholic coach Ryan Lawrence. “And (Rogers) also had football with football and created many good chances. We were just lucky enough to survive and come forward.

“I know that we usually use a lot of players in the game. When it developed and we could continue to put on the players, we were still half -fresh. We were in a pretty good position, and this is the space we ask in Aaron, especially if we attack.

Springdale 4, Fayetteeville 0

Sophomore Joel Carranza scored three goals and gave Springdale the upper hand against a Fayetteeville team that did not defeat it in the regular season.

Carranza took a pass from the other side of the field and blew a shot from 10 meters after a distance to give Springdale (10-0-8) a 1-0 lead in the first half. Almost 5 minutes later he scored his second goal and added his third with 28:25 in the game after Ronny Garcia granted the aid with a header from outside the box.

Jeovany Ceja added Springdales final goal with a penalty kick with 9:35 to play.

The two battles between the Bulldogs and 6a-West competitors during the regular season were ended in penigents. The two teams played on March 13 in Fayetteeville with a 3: 3 draw and followed with a goalless Deadlock on April 22nd in Springdale.

Bentonville 5, Springdale Har-Ber 0

Niko Martinovic broke a goalless Deadlock shortly before the end of the first half, then Bentonville Springdale carried Har-Ber with four goals of the second half.

Martinovic used a distracted ball and blew it into the net from 12 meters before the break. Wyatt Marksberry gave the Tigers (15-1-2) a 2-0 pad when he scored 25:02 through the traffic, and then Caleb Marksberry achieved an assist from Jeshua Flores with 19:32.

Flores made the gate almost 7 minutes to play, and Brooks Gregg hammered a shot from the top of the box for Bentonvilles last goal.

Rogers Heritage 0, Bryant 0 (5-3 PKS)

He really sat down and dipped his right to push Edwin Ibarras Kick off the goal so that the war eagles could maintain a 2-1 advantage.
