MALE PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK - 9/22/2021

Kyle Corkill, Smithville

Corkill scored the game-tying goal Thursday against Van Horn, then scored the game-winning penalty kick to upset the Falcons. 

The senior centerback scored the only goal in another upset win in the tournament finals to beat Guadalupe, 1-0. 

Corkill played every minute of four games in a five-day period as Smithville went 4-0 in the tournament, as the Warriors allowed only two goals in the four games.
