RAIDERS KICK CELTICS 4-0

Forrest Porterfield scored one goal and set up another as North Cross beat visiting Roanoke Catholic 4-0 in a Virginia Independent Conference boys' soccer game Thursday.

Mark Wise added a goal and anchored the defense for the Raiders (3-0 overall, 2-0 in the VIC). The Celtics slipped to 1-5, 0-1.

In other sports in the region:

Brad Shearer and David Thornhill scored two goals each as Salem (1-1-1) beat host Patrick Henry 6-3 in a boys' lacrosse game.
