A penalty kick by senior Rudy Bedolla was the only goal the Emporia High boys soccer team needed Tuesday night against Wichita Trinity.
Bedolla’s goal came in the 51st minute of play, giving the Spartans a 1-0 advantage they didn’t relinquish. Before the season began, the Spartans decided on Bedolla being their kicker to attempt the penalty kicks. He said his team had complete trust in him.
Senior goalkeeper Diego Reyes recorded his first shutout since a 1-0 victory over Topeka High nearly two weeks ago.
Coach Victor Ibarra said they had their opportunities but only managed one goal.
The Spartans are now 9-2 on the season. They’ll travel to Berean Academy for a 4:30 p.m. match on Thursday.
