The state tournament has started for boys soccer and the first district matchup for the Wyoming High School Wolves was on the road Thursday, Oct. 15, at East Grand Rapids against the Pioneers, after a season when both teams posted highly improved records from last year.
The Wolves stayed close for most of the game, and had their chances to equal a 1-0 early lead for the Pioneers. But East Grand Rapids put the game out of reach with three late goals in a 4-0 win.
The game was covered by WKTV’s featured game team and is available on-demand at wktvlive.org.
The last time East Grand Rapids and Wyoming faced each other in the state tournament was in 2015, when East Grand Rapids defeated Wyoming 2-1 in Wyoming.
Wyoming, coached by Romer Carrasco, posted an 8-2 record in the COVID-19 shortened regular season but fell short of the OK Green finals with a loss to Muskegon Mona Shores, 4-3.
First-year head coach Mike Vollmer lead East Grand Rapids to an OK White conference championship by beating Grand Rapids Christian, 2-1, and finished their regular season campaign with a 10-3 record.
