Bryant Anaya didn’t falter when placed in an unfamiliar situation Tuesday. For that, the Johnson boys soccer team can thank him for keeping its season alive. Anaya scored on a header off a corner kick in the third minute of double-overtime, and the Knights held on 2-1 win over Carrollton in the second round of the Class AAAA state playoffs in Oakwood.
