PREP SOCCER ROUNDUP: Rapoport returns, leads Bulldogs past Badgers

* BOYS

SANDPOINT - Junior midfielder Nick Rapoport wasted little time making his presence known in his first game back from injury, dishing out two assists to help lead Sandpoint to a 2-0 shutout of Bonners Ferry in nonleague boys soccer on Saturday night under the lights of War Memorial Field.

Amos Crossingham, who like Rapoport also just returned from injury, got the Bulldogs (2-4) on the board in the 17th minute, and Kyle Stanley added his fourth goal of the year early in the second half for insurance, and the Bulldogs controlled the action from start to finish.

"I definitely liked our possession, we moved the ball around well and created chances," said Bulldogs head coach Adam Tajan, praising the play of Badger goalie Caleb Blackmore in defeat. "Bonners comes into town with a lot of heart and hustle. Hopefully this will be something we can build off. It's nice to get some of these injured guys back."

Kyle Hertel picked up his first shutout of the season in goal, as the Bulldogs back four was a wall, allowing just one shot on goal.

Sandpoint kicks off the games that really matter on Tuesday, when the Bulldogs host Lakeland in a 4A Inland Empire League opener.

First half - 1, Spt, Amos Crossingham (Nick Rapoport), 17:00. Second half - 2, Spt, Kyle Stanley (Rapoport), 49:00.

Andrew (Swoboda) has really done a great job of controlling the back line and been solid back there. His leadership has been solid for us all year."

"We're just taking advantage of what the other teams are giving us," Lake City coach Chad Beadell said. "It's the second time we've been down here in a week and a half (Lake City won 6-1 at Moscow on Sept. 2), and it shows we can get on the bus and travel and compete and execute the game plan. Our defense played really well today."

RATHDRUM - Roberto Esquivel scored two goals in the second half on Saturday, spearheading the Trojans to a nonleague win over the Hawks.

In the 66th minute, Esquivel scored his first goal on a free kick, then tacked on an insurance goal nine minutes later for Post Falls (4-0-1).

"The first half was a very good performance by good teams," Lakeland coach Andrew Craig said. "For us, we could have played technical soccer. We were able to find our target and we were able to link up a lot more passes, which in the past we weren't able to do. I feel like the next step for us is to start finishing and convert on the opportunities. My hat is off to Post Falls, they're well-coached. (Midfielder) Roberto Esquivel and (goalkeeper) Noah Gondo are very good players for them."
