Ryle put seven goals on the board against Cooper in a 33rd District boys soccer matchup Sept. 10, cruising to a 7-2 victory.

Ryle was ranked No. 20 at the time.

Preston Scott had five. Cooper Neace and Chase McCarthy each had four. Grant McCoy paced Ryle with seven assists, while Scott, Harding and Neace each added four.
