The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk boys soccer team finished the regular season Monday with a statement win, beating Keokuk by a mercy rule 10-0 score in 72 minutes. Mid-Prairie piled up goals in the first half, starting the scoring in the 10th minute and going into halftime with an 8-0 lead. After the break, the Hawks would score twice more to end the match early. After the game, Mid-Prairie head coach Pat Cady talked about his seniors. “When you get seven seniors, that’s a special group of kids, a lot of experience, you’re pretty well covered on the field everywhere. The creativity should be there. My hat is off to those guys who have been with us for four years. They kind of got cheated out of their junior season so I feel sorry for them with that. They have been great all year.”

Mid-Prairie finished the match with 20 shots on goal, while allowing only two from the Chiefs. Zeus Fugate led the Golden Hawks with four goals, finishing his hat trick in the first half, and scoring the clincher in the 72nd minute. Gunnar Gingerich scored twice while Jack Pennington, Tucker Miller, Aaron Slaubaugh and Owen Trimpe all had one goal. Pennington and Trimpe each had a pair of assists. Mid-Prairie honored seven seniors after the match including Tobin Miller, Fugate, Slaubaugh, Yassin Ahmed, Jake Swartzendruber, Ethan Trimpe and Michael Kelly. With the win, the Hawks close the regular season with a 9-4 record. They start the playoffs Thursday against Pella Christian.
