HASLETT - Haslett boys soccer played host to the Dewitt Panthers Sept. 29 for a homecoming week matchup.

The game started off with Haslett in control, scoring 2 goals in the first half, the first from Joe Starkia with 22:30 left in the half, and the second goal came from Gabriel Millian with 8:36 left in the half

Each team scored 2 goals in overtime, but with under four minutes remaining in overtime, with the game tied at 4, Haslett got a corner kick. The sun had set and the field had no lights, it was the junior Viking Lou Sheaffer who saw the ball through the darkness, and redirected it in the net with a beautiful header. That would be the game winner as haslett takes an absolute thriller of a win, 5-4. Haslett head coach Darus Ward insisted that all of his seniors join him in the postgame interview.

“To be coaching these guys, I mean, is a true privilege," said Ward. "Every day we come to work, we work as a family and these guys have been awesome. It’s gonna be sad to let these guys go, but i'm happy because tonight, they're going home happy.”
