MARSH VALLEY — American Falls head boys’ soccer coach Victor Contreras emphasizes ball control at every Beavers’ soccer practice. He believes maintaining possession and sustaining an offensive posture is the key to his team’s success.

That came to fruition Tuesday, when the Beavers bested the Snake River Panthers, 2-0, despite suffering what Contreras called lapses in focus — something that has been his team’s “biggest enemy” all season.

“We were efficient when we needed to be,” Contreras said, noting that his team still has some growing to do when it comes to remaining focused on the game plan. “We’re off and on, every other game, but at the end of the day, all that matters is that we take the win home and move on to the next round.”
