The Perry boys soccer team bounced back Thursday night with an impressive 4-0 road win over North Polk.  The Bluejays were shut out Monday night by ADM in the season opener 1-0.  Jonathan Banuelos lit the spark for Perry, scoring a pair of first half goals to give Perry a 2-0 lead.  Anthony Chavez added a penalty kick early in the second half and Sergio Sanchez finished the scoring with a brilliant score late in the game.  The sniper cut across three defenders in the midfield and lasered a shot from 25 yards out. Chavez added an assist, while Tyler Gomez provided a first half helper.

Luis Castro was solid in net for the second straight game, stopping all 11 shots, including a penalty kick.

Perry coach Gary Overla was happy with the performance. “What a massive difference one game makes.  North Polk had lost to ADM by one and Gilbert by one.  Physically, they were comparable to ADM.  We played extremely well.”

Perry improves to 1-1 and will play at home next Tuesday against Winterset and Thursday against Marshalltown.
