Sidney 1, Xenia 1

The Yellow Jackets tied Xenia in a Greater Western Ohio Conference American League game on Tuesday in Sidney.

Braden Guinther scored the Yellow Jackets’ goal on an assist from Matt Joos.

“We played extremely well tonight and led the most of the game, but with 1:50 left Xenia played a really good through ball and tied the score,” Sidney coach Jamie Fridley said. “We will look at the film to see what happened on the Xenia goal, but outside of that one breakdown we played great.

“We out-possessed them probably 65-45, so we are getting better at playing possession, and give credit to Xenia. They hung in there and played a good game. They always play us good, no matter what their record is. We are still a really young team that is still learning to play at this level.”

“This will be another game that we have to be ready to play. They are a good team,” Fridley said.
