Blazers end Mounts Season


At Birdsboro, Chris Roell scored the last of his three goals with 8:17 left in the second overtime, and the 16th-seeded Blazers (14-5) earned their first district win in 17 years with a 3-AAA preliminary decision over 17th-seeded Mountaineers (10-8) edging the Mounts 4-3.

Boone goes to top-seeded Red Land for a round-of-16 match Thursday at 4 p.m. at Crossroads Middle School.

There were 37 combined shots on net in Monday's shootout, and Ephrata scored first on Noah Passage's goal nine minutes into the match.

Dillon Leone (goal, assist) tied it for Boone midway through the first, and Roell seemed to put the Blazers in command with a pair of second-half goals.

But Tyler Phillips scored twice in a two-minute span, tying it at 3-3 with his second goal with 10 minutes left in regulation.
