A Quiet End to a Challenging Year
The Boone boys' soccer team saw its 2026 campaign close with a 10‑0 defeat at the hands of Carlisle in the opening round of Class 3A substate play on May 19, 2026.
Goalkeeper Lincoln Buchwald turned in 10 saves during the match, bringing his season total to 109 stops and a 60.5 % save percentage across 941 minutes of play.
Four different players found the net for the opposition, with Owen Hill, Cole Plymesser, Sawyer Kruckenberg and Tristan Bierwagen each adding a goal, while Ethan Ward and Bierwagen each logged an assist.
Hill, who also served as the team’s goalkeeper earlier in the season, recorded 39 saves in just 270 minutes, posting a 51.2 % save rate before handing the gloves back to Buchwald.
The loss left Boone with a 0‑17 record for the year, a stark contrast to the moments of individual brilliance that punctuated an otherwise difficult schedule.
