Oscar Performance a Heady Experience in Reseda Victory

Oscar Sims’ goal in the 20th minute lifted the Reseda High boys’ soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Sylmar in a Valley Pac-8 Conference match Thursday at Reseda.

Sims scored on a 10-yard header after teammate Fred Schiffer’s throw-in into the Sylmar penalty area ricocheted off several players. The Regents (4-2-1, 3-2-1 in conference play) then stymied the Spartans (7-1-1, 5-1) in the second half.
