Penobscot Valley secured a homecoming victory over visiting Searsport 6-0 on Saturday. PVHS struck just 2 1/2 minutes into the game, when the Howler defense sent a Viking throw-in out of the 18 yard line to Brad McKechnie. Brad sent the ball up past midfield to Grant Kidon, who went one on one with a defender and put the ball past goalie George Dakin. Zach Doore scored next as he took a pass from Kidon across the top of the 18, and shot into the right corner. Doore sent a long pass over the back line where McKechnie scored while going 1 on 1 with the goalie. Grant Kidon finished the first-half scoring, by corralling a McKechnie cross and finding the back of the net again.
In the second half, Bryce Seeley started an attack by heading a Searsport goal kick at mid-field to McKechnie. Brad turned and attacked, drawing the defenders, and sending a perfect through-ball to Kidon who scored and completed the hat-trick. Reece Carter finished off the scoring on the day, by putting in his first goal of the season off a direct kick outside the 18.
