“Valen Alvarado-Lorrin had a really good game in goal,” Miami Trace head coach Josh Thoroman said.
“We talked to the guys about having a never give up attitude,” Thoroman said. “A hate to lose attitude.
“Dropping a close game (a 2-1 decision at Hillsboro Tuesday, Sept. 27) and having a couple of guys out with injuries, the guys played really inspired tonight,” Thoroman said.
“I would say at halftime, Ryan Smith and Sekou led the team, fired them up,” assistant coach Aaron Teter said.
Miami Trace improves to 5-5-3 overall, while Jackson falls to 4-6-3.
The Panthers host Chillicothe Tuesday.
