South Hagerstown boys soccer coach Ryan Myers chose to look at the positive side. Considering his club absorbed a 5-0, non-league drubbing at the hands of Hedgesville in the rain Thursday night, that wasn't the easiest thing to do. “Hedgesville has a good team. They're well-coached, and they're a Triple-A school,” said Myers. “In the first half, we were only down by two on an unlucky penalty and an own-goal. We played them pretty even.” The second half, however, was a slightly different story.
