Jumping right into it.

Juniata County had its first rivalry game of the 2020 fall high school season when the Juniata boys soccer team went head-to-head with rival, East Juniata.

Like with most times the two team battle it was a nail biter as the Indians scored early and held a late run by the Tigers to bring home a hard fought 3-2 victory.

Juniata, who scored all their goals in the first half, got on the scoreboard first and took a 3-0 advantage into the second half.

From there, East Juniata started to chip away at the Indians’ lead first by a goal by Jake Brackbill and Gannon Ryan. They were assisted by Cade Brubaker and Brackbill, respectively.
