The Bruins roared early in their match against Vianney High School, on Friday, Oct. 16. An impressive first half was all that RBHS needed to earn the 2-1 victory.
Juniors Moiz Muhammad and Brandon Rettke found the net before the intermission, giving the Bruins a confident lead. RBHS would carry the “dos-a-cero” advantage to secure the victory.
“We did the little things right to win the game,” Rettke said, following the match. “We made good passes, kept good possession, and overall, just played really well as a team.”
The teamwork will be important as the Bruins wrap up the regular season and sprint into the district tournament. The team concludes its regular season (13-6-1) with two more games against Francis Howell Central and Smith-Cotton.
The Bruins play host in the district tournament, which begins Oct. 24.
“Obviously, scoring is a lot of fun, but at the end of the day, it’s the scoreboard, not the box score, that really matter,” Muhammad said. “We want to finish the season out strong and carry the momentum into districts.”
