Boys soccer: ´Toppers pick up big shutout victory at home

With things getting nearly out of control in the second half, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team managed to keep its composure and cruise to a solid win.
The visiting Piedra Vista Panthers were slapped with three hard red cards in an eight-minute span Thursday, two for blatantly aggressive play and the other for misconduct, as the team imploded.
There was more than a little bit of hard feelings, but the Hilltoppers managed to keep the cooler heads despite the overly-aggressive – and in a couple of cases, downright dirty play – by the Panthers.
In Thursday’s game at Sullivan Field, Los Alamos controlled the contest virtually from the outset, leaving little more than table scraps for the Panthers, to pick up a 3-0 win in an important interdistrict Class AAAA contest.
Paul Hemez, David Wyman and Andy Thoma all earned goals Thursday, while Piedra Vista managed just two relatively harmless shots-on-goal in the second half.
Los Alamos, which hopes it turned a big corner after taking a top Class 5A school, Eldorado, to overtime a week earlier, has put together a pair of convincing wins back-to-back – it vanquished Santa Fe 6-0 Saturday – heading into the first of two crucial District 2AAAA games with Capital this Saturday.
