BOYS SOCCER:Inferno sits out entire weekend

Inferno forward Jacob Hall tries to beat the home team to the ball in front of Bridgewater’s goal.
Hopewell tied the Rangers, at 3-all, with just seconds to play.

Coming off the previous week’s 6-0 loss to the Cranford Cougars, the Inferno desperately needed to get back on track with two tough games last weekend--one, a make-up of a Sept. 27 rainout against West End Ewing United and the other, a regularly scheduled road game versus the New Providence Sparks.
Unfortunately, both Mother Nature and the doctor intervened, and the Inferno was left without being able to play either game. Saturday’s makeup game was a washout and Sunday’s game against the Sparks was a last-minute cancellation when the Sparks realized that too many of its players were ill and unable to play. The Inferno will take the extra rest and regroup against the Berkeley Heights Bucks this Sunday on the Bucks’ home field.

Hopewell’s record to date is 0 wins, 3 losses, and a tie. Most of the team was literally halfway to New Providence on Sunday before getting the call that the game was cancelled. No date for rescheduling the twice cancelled match from Saturday has been announced, although Saturday, Oct. 31 is a possibility.
