WEEKEND PREP ROUNDUP

BOYS SOCCER
Hidden Valley 2, Astoria 1...In a rematch of last year's showdown of the state's top-ranked teams, Hidden Valley changed its offensive attack in the second half with early dividends, scoring two goals in the first twelve minutes after halftime to come from behind for the win. Astoria struck early as Ryan Putman scored on a direct free kick in the fourth minute of play. Astoria outplayed the favored Mustangs for the first forty minutes of the game, played at Corvallis High School "We had them chasing the ball the entire half," said Astoria head coach Bill Patterson. "Our problem was, we thought the game was over at halftime." Hidden Valley switched from a 3-5-2 alignment to a 3-4-3 to get an extra forward in the attack and scored in 48th and 52nd minutes to take the lead. Astoria, now 3-3, opens Cowapa League play at Yamhill-Carlton Tuesday with a home match against Scappoose scheduled for Thursday. Hidden Valley, based in a rural area south of Grants Pass, improved to 4-1 with the victory.
