The win evened the season series between the Juneau high schools. Thunder Mountain defeated Juneau-Douglas for the first time in school history less than a week prior to Tuesday’s game, and had won five of six games this season. JDHS, meanwhile, after starting the season 0-1-4, had won its previous two games coming into the match, both by just one goal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

On a shot from Logan Miller, Watson jumped back and toward his left post, punching the ball out of harm’s way, before pulling off a similar stunt on Jake Babcock’s free kick.<\/p>\n<\/a>
