Putnam Kingsmen Boys Soccer 3-1 Thurston

Rex Putnam picked up a convincing non-league victory Thursday, defeating Thurston 3-1 in boys soccer at home in Milwaukie, Oregon. The Silvertips, who compete in the Northwest Oregon Conference (5A) during league play, were looking to build momentum in a non-conference matchup, and they delivered. The 3-1 final gave Rex Putnam a clean margin of victory against the visiting Colts, a welcome result for a program working to find its footing this fall. The win moves the Silvertips to 2-4 on the season, doubling their win total with one result. Though the early portion of the schedule has been a challenge, Thursday's performance showed the squad is capable of putting together a complete effort when the opportunity presents itself. With league competition still central to the team's goals this season, a confidence-building non-league result like this one carries real value heading deeper into the fall. Rex Putnam will look to carry the momentum forward in their next outing.
