Prep Report: Golden Bears defeat Batesville for invitational championship

Shelbyville High School’s boys soccer team captured the Shelbyville Invitational championship Saturday night in dramatic fashion.

With the title tilt tied at 1-1 against Batesville, the two teams went to penalty kicks and, ultimately, sudden death to determine the winner.

Brayden Basey’s goal gave the Golden Bears the advantage in the ninth round of penalty kicks and goalkeeper Jalen Hounshell stuffed Batesville’s attempt to seal the win.

The Golden Bears improved to 4-2 this season while the Bulldogs dropped to 5-2.

Shelbyville advanced to the championship with a 4-2 semifinal win over Herron. Drew Hassebroek scored three goals and Al Hernandez added the fourth Saturday morning.

Batesville moved into the championship with a 2-1 win over Knightstown.

Christian Haas put Shelbyville up 1-0 in the title game at the 15-minute mark of the second half off an assist from Sam Price.

Batesville quickly tied the match up again on a corner kick and neither team found the back of the net from there.

Shelbyville made its first three penalty kick attempts but the Bulldogs kept matching.

After Batesville’s goalkeeper stuffed a Shelbyville penalty kick, Hounshell was able to do the same and build the tension until the night, and final, round.
