Hendersonville Rolls Past Ncssm 5-0

FOR NCHSAA 1-A MEN’S SOCCER CROWN

RALEIGH – Senior forward Bryan Aguirre knocked in two goals and had an assist to lead Hendersonville to a 5-0 romp over Durham North Carolina School of Science and Math to capture the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 1-A men’s soccer championship Saturday at the Curtis and Jacqueline Dail Soccer Stadium at N.C. State University.

Aguirre, a 6-0, 180-pound forward and one of the NCHSAA’s all-time leading scorers, ended his career with 156 goals as the Bearcats spurted to a 3-0 lead at halftime and then scored twice three minutes into the second half, coasting to victory.

Aguirre was named the Most Valuable Player of the championship. Ahmad Jarrar had a goal and added two assists for the Bearcats.

Hendersonville made its second consecutive appearance in the final after beating Dixon 3-0 for the state championship last year and ended the season with a 26-2-1 mark. The Bearcats did not lose in their last 22 matches.

NCSSM, which lost for only the second time against 20 victories, won the 2007 1-A crown in its only previous men’s soccer title appearance.

Wendy’s is the presenting sponsor of the NCHSAA sports program. The Raleigh Sports Consortium serves as a host city sponsor for these championships, along with the city of Raleigh and the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors’ Bureau.
