[VIDEO] Rebels Win JV Title 3-0 Against Oakers

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The Rebels controlled the midfield and time of possession for a 3-0 win in the junior varsity boys’ soccer title game against Coventry Wednesday night at Curtis Corner Middle School.

South Kingstown scored first, with 11:50 left in the second half. Freshman Aiden McCaughey got to a 50-50 ball before the Coventry goalkeeper, and poked the ball past the keeper and defenders.

Immediately after his kick, McCaughey was knocked to the ground, a sign of things to come for both teams. The play was physical throughout, with referees telling players to play on, as most of the contact didn’t lead to advantages.

South Kingstown scored again with 5:43 left in the first half. Sophomore Michael Gross headed a free kick from sophomore Jacob Barrett in the upper-right corner of the goal, giving the Rebels a 2-0 lead heading into the half.

It was more of the same in the second half, as South Kingstown dominated the midfield play and the time of possession. Coventry only got a single shot on goal, and it came with less than 10 minutes to go and down 3-0.

South Kingstown scored its third goal about 30 seconds after a corner kick. Coventry struggled to clear following the corner, and Gross scored again, after two saves by the Coventry keeper.
