Staver rallies St. Mary�s past Bonanza BONANZA � The St. Mary�s High boys soccer team found itself staring at a 1-0 deficit just 12 minutes into Saturday�s District 6 playoff match against the Bonanza Antlers. But senior forward Brian Staver scored two goals and registered an assist the rest of the way as the Crusaders posted a 3-1 victory. St. Mary�s now meets third-place Henley on the road Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., with the winner advancing to the state playoffs. "We passed the ball very well today and didn�t panic when we fell behind early," St. Mary�s coach Joel Benson said. "We just kept playing our game." The Crusaders tied the game in the 39th minute after Zach Rote got pushed from behind in the box. The penalty resulted in Staver�s first goal. St. Mary�s took the lead for good in the 47th minute when Matt Burt scored off an assist from Staver. Staver provided an insurance goal in the 67th minute off another PK. Defensively, stopper Peter Staver and sweeper Jordan Frankel had big games for the Crusaders, who improved their season record to 9-5. Girls HIDDEN VALLEY 3, PHOENIX 2, OT � At Murphy, Hidden Valley�s only shot in the final 40 minutes of play proved to be the winning goal in the District 6 playoff match. Sophomore Faye Jaramillo chipped a shot from about 20 yards into the far corner of the net over Phoenix goalie Kat Cox with 7:10 gone in the second of two 10-minute overtime periods. Hidden Valley will play at Henley at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, with the winner advancing to the Class 3A/2A/1A state playoffs as the district�s No. 3 seed.
