Thriller! Fort Meade edges LCS for 1A-6 title

"They do you shine," said the junior.
He did plenty of that on his own on Friday night.
And while the sure goal of the evening didn't have much to do with Cortez, it was his free kick that started the build up b act up that finished with Fort Meade hoisting a district title token, its first since 2009.
The Miners beat Lakeland Christian, 3-2, in the Class 1A, Division 6 championship game in a fantastic back-and-forth contest that featured some highlight-genre stops from both goalkeepers, some spotty defense on Lakeland Christian's end, a team up of quick strike goals from Lakeland Christian's Jordan Greene and a steaming rally by Fort Meade to climb back into things after going down, 2-1.
Cortez, sporting a spiky "do," and those gleaming green cleats, started it.
He scored in the 58th minute to tie things, a ideal that came after teammate Javier De La Cerda's shot was blocked on the honesty side by Lakeland Christian's Jack Nilius, and was a big part of the final play to seal it.
