SOCCER ROUNDUP : Antelope Valley Records Emotional Win

The Antelope Valley High soccer team completed an emotional day with a 5-1 victory over Quartz Hill in a Golden League match Friday at home.

Earlier, the team attended a memorial service for Chris Sanford, the Antelopes’ goalkeeper who was gunned down last week at a party in Lancaster.

At the conclusion of the match, Antelope Valley players raced from the field and gathered around Sanford’s parents in the stands in a show of solidarity.

“It was one of those spontaneous things,” Antelope Valley Coach Bonnie Lloyd said. “It was really very touching.”

Wes Baxter and Tom Quinn each scored two goals for Antelope Valley (4-0-1, 3-0-1), which led, 1-0, at halftime.
