NORTH SMITHFIELD – The Prout boys soccer team didn’t need to be reminded about their history in semifinal games.
“We’ve had a little voodoo with the semifinals,” Prout coach Tim Ryan said, “since I’ve been associated with the program.”
The last four seasons, the Crusaders have made it to the round of four and each time, left one game short of a championship game appearance.
Tuesday night against West Warwick, Prout ended the unfortunate run.
Connor Hagerty scored on a header off a loose ball in front of the net and the defense shut down the powerful West Warwick attack as the Crusaders advanced to the first RIIL championship game in school history with a 1-0 win.
“We’ve lost in the semifinals the last four years,” Prout senior Christian Tiexiera said. “We’ve never gone to the championship and it’s nice to go.”
