Bellwood-Antis’s Corey Johnston hat tricks to carry the Golden Eagles to another victory
The Tyrone/Bellwood-Antis soccer team at home advanced to a 3-1 record for the season last night at the Harry K. Sickler Athletic Fields in Tyrone.
Clearfield got up to an early 1-0 lead until Corey Johnston rattled off two unanswered goals in the first half. Johnston sealed the deal with a second half goal to lift the Golden Eagles over the Clearfield Bison.
Johnston recorded his second hat trick in last night’s win which puts him at 8 goals in four games this season.
Corey has been a key factor in the Golden Eagle’s success this season, he spoke on how he’s been able to have the season he is so far.
He credited his dad and some young teammates with helping spark his early-season success.
“My dad really encourages me to keep going and work hard,” he said. “And in the offseason I played on a travel team that played a lot of games in Pittsburgh with Aiden and Alex Taylor.”
Johnston also credited Tyrone senior Ethan Vipond, the football team’s placekicker, with igniting the team on defense.
“Ethan has really helped us on defense, so it’s been really good that he came out,” Johnston said.
