[VIDEO] Rebels Win JV Title 3-0 Against Oakers

South Kingstown gets two goals from Michael Gross in a 3-0 win against Coventry in the JV boys’ soccer title game.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The Rebels controlled the midfield and time of possession for a 3-0 win in the junior varsity boys’ soccer title game against Coventry Wednesday night at Curtis Corner Middle School. South Kingstown scored first, with 11:50 left in the second half. Freshman Aiden McCaughey got to a 50-50 ball before the Coventry goalkeeper, and poked the ball past the keeper and defenders.

From The Editor's Desk

What’s The Deal With Sports?

Basically, a short piece on why the sports content has been dwindling lately.
