Patton’s Jimmy Monzon (left) maintains possession in front of a St. Stephens defender during a boys soccer match on Sept. 2 in Morganton. Monzon scored three goals on Monday as the fifth-seeded Panthers (18-6) earned a 5-1 road victory over fourth-seeded Thomasville in the third round of the 3A state playoffs, setting up a fourth-round showdown with top-seeded Pine Lake Prep (16-5-1) late Thursday in Mooresville (see the Nov. 21 edition of The Paper for details from that contest). Jacoby Bonkowske scored Patton’s other two goals on Monday, while Samuel Quinonez, Aldair Pinto, Gabino Vasquez, and Noah Krogel each had one assist. Prior to their third-round win, the Panthers had an opening-round bye before collecting a 4-2 home triumph over 12th-seeded Surry Central in a second-round match on Nov. 5. In other postseason action, 10th-seeded NCSSM-Morganton (8-11) received a bye in the first round of the 1A bracket before shutting out seventh-seeded Andrews by a 7-0 score on the road Nov. 4 and falling at second-seeded Bethany Community School by a 4-2 final in overtime on Monday. Finally, 6A No. 20 seed Freedom (7-14-1) ended its season with a 7-0 loss at 13th-seeded Piedmont in the opening round on Nov. 2.
