Cowan Scores Game-Winning Penalty Against Marquette - Is An Auto Butler Male Athlete Of The Month For Redbirds

2 years 9 months ago
ALTON - It was a night that Alton High sophomore forward Dillan Cowan will remember for the rest of his life. "The kid plays with a ton of enthusiasm. He's got just a ton of passion for this game and it paid off for him tonight," AHS head coach Tyler Hamilton said post-game about Dillan. He scored a couple of goals Monday night (September 26) against cross-town rival Marquette Catholic High School in a 2-1 victory after penalty kicks. Cowan is an Auto Butler Male Athlete of the Month for the Redbirds. He broke the game open in the 54th minute when he ran onto a through ball with only the keeper to beat. He slotted it home to take the lead in front of probably 400-plus fans at Public School Stadium. Marquette eventually tied the game back up forcing overtime.

He did just that putting the ball into the back of the net past the diving keeper.
