What a game. Hudson came into the game ranked fourth in the nation on MaxPreps and spent the first 20 minutes demonstrating exactly why. During that tour de force the Explorers took 12 shots and pulled out to a 2-0. On a scorching hot day for September it looked for all the world like a top five team in the nation and the top team in the state would add another win.
Then a weird thing happened: Green hit back. The Bulldogs refused to be cowed by the onslaught and won a penalty that Owen Smythe duly and coolly converted. A free kick in a dangerous area suddenly led an equalizer when a speculative ball from Mason Shisler floated in at the back post.
That set up a second half where Hudson held possession and Green sat low and hit on the counter. With nine minutes left the Explorers won a penalty, but Max Sitko, standing on his head all game, was more than level to the challenge and saved it. The next 480 seconds lasted an age, but when it was all over Green had gone toe to toe with the best the country has to offer and came out even.
