Upset win spoiled as playoff window shuts on Spartans
Socr-Lat-Pic-1
Lathrop Highs Danny Becerra (5) was the difference in the Spartans 2-1 win, scoring twice in the second half to lead Lathrop to victory over Sierra.
LATHROP – Sierra High was 10 minutes from putting itself in position for the top spot in the Valley Oak League and Lathrop’s Danny Becerra changed that in a six-minute span. Becerra turned a one-goal deficit into the Spartans’ first-ever win over Sierra, erupting for a goal in the 65th minute followed by the winner six minutes later for a 2-1 Lathrop win. Sierra would try in vain to net another goal, getting one quality look with no score.
