BECKLEY _ It was a cold yet bright morning at the Beckley YMCA Soccer Complex. In this setting was born a new hope in the form of the PikeView Panthers, who in their third season of existence were making their first appearance in the West Virginia state tournament.
The Panthers themselves had more than hope, giving Weir everything they could handle in 80 goalless minutes and forcing overtime. But they could not prevent Lindsay Thorp and Milena Maragos from getting a goal and an assist each in the first extra period as the Red Riders beat the Panthers 2-0 Friday at Carter Field.
"I think the girls probably gave _ if not their best _ one of their best efforts of the season," said PikeView head coach Sam Hill. "We talked about coming into the game giving ourselves an opportunity to get a result. For 80 minutes they did that and that’s all you can ask for."
