LAKEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Christian Thunder just absolutely made a statement. They are absolutely a top team in the state.
The Thunder handed Front Range Christian (the number two ranked team in the 2A division) their first loss of the season in a massive way.
Their 8-2 victory was loud and they showcased their skills and many star players on the field.
Junior Courtney Johnson had the most spectacular goal of the day, which could very well end up as the Honor Roll top play of the week.
Johnson pulled up and launched a rocket shot from 32 yards out that perfectly fit above the outstretched glove of the Front Range Christian goalkeeper and just under the crossbar.
The six-goal victory for the number three ranked team in Colorado's 2A division should and will be noticed by teams across the state.
