What a goal!In Sanborn's 6-0 win over Hillsboro-Deering, 28-year boys soccer coach Al Magnusson witnessed what he called is one of the greatest goals he's ever seen.It started when Rob Palumbo (4 goals, 2 assists) chipped the ball over several defenders to brother Steve Palumbo (2 goals) who, when the ball floated a little high, leaped into the air, rotated his body horizontal to the ground and drilled a spectacular side-scissor volley into the upper corner of the net."It was unbelievable, one to tell the grandkids about," said Magnusson. "Not a lot of kids could do that."

Rob Palumbo picked up his 11th and 12th goals and his brother, Steve, added a third as Sanborn put a complete 80 minutes together in a 3-0 win over Hillsboro at home. Nick Fogarty turned back seven shots to pick up the shutout.
