Gingerich spoke after the match about his big night. “The passing and our corner kicks have been really good this year from Owen (Trimpe) and Noah Ford. Those were just executed perfectly today and then for the other goal I was just one-on-one. Our triangles were immaculate. We were able to 1-2. Everything just worked out for us today. I haven’t had too many header goals but it felt good just to finish the game.”

Mid-Prairie racked up an incredible 54 total shots, 33 of those on goal. Andrew Kaufman and Justice Jones combined for three saves and a clean sheet. Mid-Prairie remains undefeated at 7-0. They travel to Prince of Peace Friday night.
