Soccer Playoffs: Wahl pumps in four goals in Haynes win, Holy Cross boys also advance

When you have a good team, you have a good chance to win.

When you have a great individual performance, the team has an even better chance to win.

Haynes Academy is a good team with a great player.

Junior Brian Wahl was magnificent, scoring four goals as No. 11 Haynes dismissed No. 22 Sterlington 5-0 Thursday evening at Joe Yenni Stadium.

Senior Victor Wu added the fifth goal for the Yellow Jackets.

Wahl has broke the school record for the most goals in a season as he now had 43 and counting. Wahl is well on his way to breaking the record for the most goals in the program’s history.
