Keystone Heights High School played the first of just two home matches it’ll play in December prior to the Christmas/New Year’s break, with visiting Columbia winning 1-0 on Dec. 4.
Goalie Sammy Wacha made several saves in the 12th, 13th and 14th minutes. Teammate Aaron Wiley got a good look at the goal in the 15th minute, with the Columbia goalie making a save.
Both teams’ goalies made saves after the water break as the match remained scoreless at halftime.
Columbia, a Class 5A school, found the net in the 41st minute, which would be the only goal it needed to defeat the Class 3A Indians.
The Indians (5-4-1) followed the match with a 2-1 loss at fellow 3A school Fernandina Beach on Dec. 6.
It was Keystone’s third loss in a row.
Noah Jaramillo scored the Indians’ lone goal off a Trenton Noble assist.
