Graham girls win
The Graham girls soccer team beat Xenia, 2-1, in non-league action.
The Falcons jumped out early, swarming Xenia’s goal for the entire first half. Xenia turned away every chance and kept the score 0-0 at the half.
After the break, Graham’s Rosey Dunham scored with a rocket from distance. Xenia fought back hard and pulled even with a shot from the top of the 18.
It seemed as though that would be where it would end as the clock approached zero. But with only minutes to spare, Dunham found space to dribble and scored the game-winner.
