Putting together a big second half comeback, Holley rallied to defeat rival Kendall 4-2 this evening in a Genesee Region League boys soccer game at Kendall.
Trailing 2-0 at half-time, Holley came storming back to quickly tie the game with a pair of goals in the first 11 minutes.
Erik Balys got Holley on the scoreboard when he tallied just 3:45 into the second half off an assist from Nathan Nothnagle.
Matt Wilson then pulled the Hawks even when he scored at the 29:51 mark as Kayden Servais earned the assist.
Keeping the momentum, Holley finally took the lead at 3-2 when John Mounts scored unassisted with 17:34 remaining.
The Hawks then put a lock on the win when Servais netted an insurance goal just over a minute later off as assist from Kory Puente.
Kendall built up the 2-0 first half advantage on a pair of goals by Nate Waters whack came just a minute apart at the 17 and 16 minute marks.
Holley is now 1-0 in the league and 4-0 overall while Kendall is 0-3, 0-4.
