The Gloucester High School varsity boys’ soccer team played Grafton to a 1-1 tie in a rainy scrimmage last Thursday.

The Clippers scored first and the score remained 1-0 at the half. The Dukes switched formations in the second half to combat Grafton’s offense and midfield. Gloucester had scoring opportunities but Grafton’s tough defense kept the Dukes at bay.

Late in the matchup, Gloucester’s Luke Ferreira was fouled in Grafton’s penalty area and GHS senior Caleb Hines scored with his penalty kick to make it 1-1, which is where the game ended.

The Dukes are slated to scrimmage with Tabb at 7 p.m. today at GHS.
