Cyclone boys blank Titans 1-0 for ninth shutout win

 HARLAN -- Eleven games into the soccer season, only two teams have managed to find the back of the net against Harlan Community.
 Defensive shutout number nine was posted Monday night (May 8) at Merrill Field when the Cyclone boys earned their most impressive win yet with a 1-0 decision over Lewis Central.
 The game’s only score came in the 23rd minute when HCHS junior Tanner Fink’s corner kick curled back toward the net and was deflected in by a Titan defender for an own goal.
 Lewis Central, which entered the game with the same 9-1 record as the Cyclones, finished with a 6-3 advantage in shots on goal, but all six were saved by HCHS junior goalie Keaton Jones, whose save percentage on the year is now .882.
 The Cyclones improved to 10-1 overall (3-1 Hawkeye Ten Conference) going into Thursday’s make-up game at Atlantic while the Titans dropped to 9-2 overall and 3-1 in league play. Both teams are tied for second place in the H-10 behind Denison-Schleswig.
 Harlan became just the fifth team to score against LC all season.
