Your Talawanda Braves mens soccer team faced the top ranked Centerville Elks in Oxford Saturday afternoon. Centerville were the Ohio Division I runners up last season, and had not lost a regular season game to an out of league opponent in almost a decade. The Braves knew if they were going to run with the big dogs it was time to get off the porch.
Talawanda's defense led by Andrew Marks, Dylan Bailey-Van Kuren, and Ben Hesford held a scoreless tie till halftime, but the Elks drew first blood with an early goal in the second. Senior Midfielder Nathaneal Robinson answered soon thereafter to tie the game 1-1. Then it was Brazilian sensation Aldemar Motta who came streaking 40 yards down the center of the field to assist what would be the game winner. Adrew Jarvi received the pass, calmly turned, and slotted it home. GOOOAAALLL ! Despite numerous threats in the final minutes, goalie Kevin Jewett kept the ball out of the net to give Talawanda the historic upset.
At the final whistle it was Braves 2- Centerville 1!
The Soccer team's next match is against Edgewood at home Thursday night.
