BUFORD — West Hall’s Omar Castillo didn’t need anyone to remind him how important a Spartans win over Buford would be in the Region 7-AAA race. Whenever he had the ball, he acted accordingly — scoring three goals and adding an assist to lead his team to a 5-2 win over the Wolves in a crucial region game between a pair of state-ranked teams Friday in Buford. The Spartans’ sophomore tallied two goals in the game’s first seven minutes, setting the tone for the rest of the contest that kept third-ranked West Hall unbeaten on the season and the team to beat in the region.
