Just wanted to say thanks Dave for all the great updates.. Also I have to admit I am surprised Knox West is doing as well as they are.

Day three action is underway at Northside Middle School in the 17th Annual Palmetto Cup, with Walhalla battling Bob Jones (AL). The clouds are rolling in and the wind is whipping ... 60 degrees in West Columbia.

A quarter of an hour is in the books at NMS, and Walhalla are putting a lot of pressure on Bob Jones. The Razorbacks look comfortable in the back and seem to be a half-step ahead of the Patriots against a fairly brisk wind in the first half. Good action from The Palmetto Cup!

The best scoring opportunity of the match goes by the wayside: Patriot forward Jarrod Cox works his way in, and Walhalla keeper Cody Dunton comes out to force his hand and cuts down the angle just enough that Cox's shot rolls about a foot outside the far post. Subsequent frantic action on the pitch results in a caution being shown to the Patriots' David Robinson. One half hour in the books, still goalless at Northside Middle School.

GOAL! Walhalla 0:1 Bob Jones

A rocket of a shot and diving save forces a Bob Jones corner kick. The save knocks the wind out of Razorback goalkeeper Cody Dunton who requires attention and must come off the pitch. Hermilio Jiminez comes on for Walhalla, but the corner is served well into the box and the ball finds a home in the back of Espino's goal on 33 minutes.

GOALS! Walhalla 2:2 Bob Jones

A corner to the Razorbacks, a timely substitution, and the ball not cleared lead to an opportunity for Christian Romero. He takes a bouncing ball and nails it to bring Walhalla within one. Before this post could be sent online, they strike again on a ball designed to be a cross but it floated on over Patriot goalkeeper Ryan Haws. Less than 10 to play and we're all square at Northside Middle School.
