Samuel Coto’s second-effort shot wiped away 40 minutes of frustration for West Hall’s boys. Taking a pass from teammate Jordan Moreno, Coto planted a kick off the hands of Cartersville goalkeeper Reid Selton, then collected the rebound with the keeper laying on the ground and fired it into the back of the net for the game’s first score in the 57th minute, keying the Spartans’ 4-0 win in the first round of the Class AAA state tournament in Oakwood. “Getting that first goal was a huge relief for our entire team,” said Coto, who also scored the final goal in the 70th minute.
