PREP BOYS SOCCER

Silverado 3, Victor Valley 1

At Victorville, the Hawks notched their 11th victory of the season after scoring two second-half goals to beat the Jackrabbits on Thursday.

Silverado took a 1-0 lead midway through the first half, and Victor Valley quickly responded with a goal by Jose Vega to even the score 1-1.

But the Hawks struck quickly in the second half, scoring less than a minute in for a 2-1 lead.

“We had moments of greatness. We really moved the ball well, especially later in the second half,” said Victor Valley head coach Fidel Gonzales. “But we had lapses in focus that were costly.”

Silverado (11-1-2, 4-0-1 Desert Sky League) travels to Granite Hills on Tuesday, while Victor Valley (4-6, 2-2 DSL) is back in action Jan. 27 at Barstow.
