High school boys soccer: Viewmont edges out Box Elder
A dominant second half showing by Viewmont saw the home side get a much needed 2-1 victory over Region 5 foe Box Elder as they head toward the latter part of the regular season, with an eye toward the playoffs. “It was a pretty classic Region 5 battle. It was two really good teams playing hard and trying to win the game. Really what we have been trying to work on is moving the back quickly through our midfield and getting the ball in dangerous positions to score. The rain played a little bit of a factor, but ultimately, we were able to do what we wanted to do a little bit. We were able to do just enough to get the win,” said Viewmont head coach Spencer Keddington. The game was locked up at 0-0 at halftime, with the best chance of the first half coming from Box Elder’s Nate Walker, who hit the post midway through the half. Viewmont felt like they were really close in getting that breakthrough goal. Keddington pleaded with his team at halftime to keep fighting and to keep the energy up.
