QUINCY – The Jacks used a strong second half to surge over Royal in Saturday’s non-league matchup, riding out to a 6-1 win over the Knights.
“(Royal) is doing pretty well in the south in their league, and it was a game we were really looking forward to because of their standings and their record,” Tafoya said. “We knew it was going to be a tough one, and to come out on top is just going to place us better throughout the rest of the season.”
