Bonner Springs shuts Tigers out

Visiting Bonner Springs shut out Fort Scott High, 6-0, in a varsity soccer match at Ellis Park Thursday evening as Garrett Stephan scored 3 goals for the Braves.

Fort Scott fell to 1-12 on the season as it was shut out for at least the fifth consecutive time. The Tigers haven’t scored since losing to Columbus, 2-1, in a shootout in the first round of the Coffeyville Tornado Tournament on September 16.

Frustratingly, the Tigers were close to breaking the shutout string several times in the second half. Fort Scott got consistent pressure but missed several shots by a foot or less.

The junior varsity game finished in a 1-1 tie. Caleb Watkins scored the tying goal in the 16th minute.

The Tigers play at Columbus Thursday.
