South Aiken advances to the Lower State Championship and will host Wando on Tuesday after a 4-3 barnburner over Fort Dorchester. Scrappy game. Fort Dorchester converted a PK just before halftime to go up 3-2. South Aiken tied the score at 3-3 about ten minutes into the 2nd half. With under 2 mins to play, South Aiken had a corner/throw/free kick and one of their players was apparantly punched in the #%#% by the Fort Dorchester GK. Guy was writing around on the ground in pain. After some deliberation from the head official, the GK was given a red card and South Aiken was awarded a PK which they converted to go up 4-3. South Aiken earned what appeared to be another clear PK in stoppage time, earning Fort Dorcheser another red card, but the ref opted to give a free kick outside of the box. Tough win for the T-breds. Tough loss for Fort D.
