O'Hara, for the second time in two games, found the back of the net, this time with a sensational 25-yard strike into the top corner.
Ramping up the pressure, St Mirren soon found a second goal. Mitchell's sliding tackle was originally met with a yellow card from Anderson, but after being asked to peek at the drenched monitor, the referee upgraded that to a red for the St Johnstone defender. A clearance fell sweetly to the onrushing Kiltie, whose volley flashed under Matthews.Īn uneventful second half sprung into life with the interference of VAR again. St Mirren, though, would get back level with a stinging strike. After a lengthy VAR check, Euan Anderson awarded a spot-kick, with Carey netting. Taking note of the warning shots, the visitors ventured down the right through Drey Wright, whose dinked effort struck the trailing arm of Scott Tanser. Curtis Main had a couple of pops from 20 yards, the first forcing a fine parry out of the returning Remi Matthews and the second gliding high over. There was a relaxed nature about the home side's play in the opening stages, confining their visitors in their own final third. Home comforts have been a necessity rather than a luxury for St Mirren of late, softening the blow of the travelling troubles they have endured in the shape of consecutive away defeats. Head to our dedicated St Johnstone page.
St Johnstone are sixth, ahead of the Paisley side only on goal difference. The late concession drops St Mirren from joint third to eighth in the division, but they do extend their unbeaten home run to seven matches. 1 seed Truckee (9-1), which is undefeated at home.Graham Carey had given the visitors the lead from the penalty spot, but Greg Kiltie's stunning volley pulled the hosts level before Alex Mitchell was sent off for St Johnstone following a VAR review. Moapa Valley’s opponent in the other 3A state semifinal is North No. Wrzesinski scored a rushing touchdown and completed a pass on the ensuing 2-point conversion, then intercepted a pass on Boulder City’s final drive to seal the win. The Pirates (11-0) needed a herculean effort from senior running back Landon Wrzesinski to outlast Boulder City 8-7 last week. SLAM Academy plays Spring Creek (8-3), which upset top-seeded Churchill County 21-20 in last week’s Northern Region semifinals. The Bulls (7-3) outlasted Virgin Valley 35-28 last week for their sixth straight win to advance to the 3A state semifinals. In its fifth season of playing high school football, SLAM Academy is one win away from playing for a state championship. It will be a game of contrasting styles, as Shadow Ridge is a run-heavy team, while Las Vegas quarterback Elijah Espinoza is a passing threat. The Wildcats (8-2) hope this year’s result will be much different, but they will have to break through against the tough defense of the Mustangs (10-1), who have shut out their last three opponents. The other 4A state semifinal is a rematch from last year in which Shadow Ridge rolled past Las Vegas 65-37 to advance to the state championship game. The win was the beginning of what is now a seven-game shutout streak for the Skyhawks, who have scored at least 43 points in each of those wins. Silverado (10-0) blanked Coronado 43-0 in the regular season. The Cougars (9-2) have combined for 99 points in their two playoff wins, but their hot postseason offense will be put to the test against the reigning 4A champions in Friday’s state semifinal. But the Gaels rolled past the Patriots 35-14 in last year’s region final. The last time these teams played at Liberty, in 2019, the Patriots pulled off the 30-24 upset in overtime, giving Gorman its first loss to a Nevada team in a decade.
But how close will this game be? The defense for Liberty (8-3) has been stout, but the offense for Gorman (11-1) is clicking at a different level. It’s the game we all expected in the Class 5A Southern Region final.
