Orange – Orange Lutheran’s climbing as a boys’ football powerhouse continued on Friday night with a golden target and equally brilliant celebration.
Senior midfielder Xavier Alkentar scored the lancers in a dramatic semi-Westlake in a dramatic semi-final match in the CIF-SS Division 1 Playoff at Orange Lutharan High, scoring the lancers in the past to lift the lanses in the past for a sudden death duration.
Orange Lutheran, who captured the Division 4 title in the previous season, immediately moved to his fans after the alkantor’s victorious strike. The players jumped on the fence to resume their first trip in the Division 1 final.
“It was just a great moment,” Alkantar said, who scored on a penalty prepared by Senior Forward Hector Eralanus. “(Our fans) are supporting us through this whole journey. Just to be able to celebrate with them, and for them to feel that we have on the field, just a great moment we can share.”
