Prep roundup: Kalkaska posts 8th soccer win of season; Petoskey wins golf, XC invites

Sep. 18—GRAYLING — Kalkaska is targeting the soccer program's most victories in a decade.

The Blazers topped Grayling 3-2 Monday in Lake Michigan Conference boys soccer action, giving the team its eighth victory of the season.

Last year's team went 10-10-1, and the 2016-17 squad posted an 11-11-1 mark, the only two times Kalkaska has posted 10-win seasons over the last decade.

Kalkaska (8-3-2, 3-1-1 Lake Michigan) could also finish above .500 for the first time in a decade, with six regular-season games and at least one postseason contest still on tap.

Jose Saez scored a hat trick for the Blazers, and goalie Kayden Dueweke-Gonzales made seven saves.

"I thought it was an evenly matched game," Kalkaska head coach David Wagner said. "Our defense kept Grayling's leading goal scorer off the board. Happy with our performance."

Caleb Baker scored two goals for Grayling (9-2-0, 3-2 LMC), while Mitch Harrington put up two assists.

Kalkaska hosts Boyne City on Thursday, while the Vikings head to Oscoda on Tuesday.
