The Cheney High School boys soccer team went into another shootout against Great Northern League Clarkston on Tuesday, April 3. The Blackhawks eventually lost by a slim 4-3 margin in the shootout, handing them a 3-2 loss. Cheney falls to 2-7 overall record and is 1-5 in league play.

“The team looked very solid,” head coach Rene Caro said in an email. “The first half ended in a 0-0, however, we definitely looked in control as the boys were able to possess the ball very well and showcase patience in going forward.”

The game didn’t stay that way for long as junior Noah Schorzman scored off an assist from freshman Dawson Heuett in the 58th minute, giving Cheney a 1-0 lead.

In the 76th minute, Heuett scored an unassisted goal, putting Cheney up 2-0. The Bantams responded with two goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation, tying the game at 2-2 and sending the game into overtime.


“The boys had a marvelous response to Clarkston’s two goals and, in overtime, we looked like we would almost score a goal through Alex Torres,” Caro said.

After no scoring in overtime, the game went into another shootout. For Cheney, Sam Fix, Heuett and Gabe Hemenway scored goals.

Dalton Mauzay picked up nine saves on the day for Cheney and the Blackhawks also had nine shots on goal.

“This was a very devastating loss for the team, but soccer isn’t always kind and rewarding and we witnessed how extremely cruel it can be,” Caro said. “Overall, I am very pleased with the game we executed. We aren’t extremely happy with our results but, in the grand scheme of things, we still have everything to play for and I firmly believe that we will be in peak form when it matters most.”


Cheney played at West Valley (2-3, 3-6) on Tuesday, April 10. They will continue league play on April 14 at East Valley (2-3, 3-4).
