PHS booters nip South, 2-1
By RON JOHNSTON, Sports Writer

PARKERSBURG — Ryan Knost delivered a long-distance, knockout score.The senior defender’s goal with eight minutes left proved to be the game-winner as defending state champion Parkersburg High nipped Parkersburg South, 2-1, in crosstown boys’ soccer action at the Erickson All-Sports Facility Tuesday night.Knost, whose boot came from about 40 yards out, said that he wasn’t trying score on the kick. On the goal, which he didn’t see, the ball cleared Patriot keeper Derik Ayers’ head.“I was actually looking for somebody’s head (in the attack), and my calf cramped up real bad, so I rolled over — and everybody tackled me,” Knost said. “I had no idea. I never even saw the keeper miss it.

”Undefeated and fourth-ranked PHS improved its record to 5-0, while second-ranked South, 4-1, suffered its first setback of the season.“We’ll take that score of Ryan’s,” said Big Reds coach Don Fosselman. “He put that in there beautifully, just under the crossbar. He can really strike the ball pretty hard.”Early on in the first half, in the 26th minute, Michael Brooks staked PHS to a 1-0 advantage — also the halftime score — when he put the finishing touch on Michael Pitrolo’s service from the left wing. On Pitrolo’s ground cross, Ayers came out of the goal in traffic to try to collect the ball but it had already rolled by him to Brooks at the far post.After the break, South went on the attack and Stephen Molinari got the equalizer in the 60th minute, with Jamon Kaufman getting an assist. Kaufman was in tight on the right flank when he gave a feed in traffic to Molinari, who beat PHS keeper Brent McGee with a shot into the right corner of the goal.“He (Kaufman) just flicked it on to me, and I put it in the net,” Molinari said.About five minutes after that score Molinari angled a direct kick off the crossbar, and out of bounds. A few inches lower, and it might have gone into the goal.“It just wasn’t our day, I guess,” Molinari said.

“We played well and showed some heart out there, but didn’t have the outcome we wanted.”Just prior to Knost’s goal, the Big Reds had been on the offensive, and South’s defense had cleared the ball out — but apparently not far enough. Knost basically was just trying to put the ball back into the attack, and it went into the goal.“I don’t know if he’ll (Knost) ever do it again,” said Patriots coach Bill Matthews. “He was just putting it into the box, I figure. And the ball sailed over Derik’s head. We’re disappointed that we lost, but I think we can play with them. We’ll be all right.”PHS plays at Spring Valley at 3 p.m. Saturday. South hosts Nicholas County at 6 p.m. Thursday.
