Panther Soccer 2009

Last Wednesday (10/21) the Point Arena Pirates were visitors to the Valley and AV hoped to make up for their poor performance on the coast a couple of weeks ago — a game the Panthers won 4-0 but in which they played well below par. Sure enough, after a slow start, the superior skills and [...]
