Two long-time scoring records fell Thursday night for a pair of Westmoreland County boys soccer programs.
Senior Markello Apodiakos of Belle Vernon became his school’s career points leader with 202, surpassing Mike Posey’s mark of 200 set from 1986-89.
Apodiakos, who also is Belle Vernon’s all-time leader in goals, scored four times Thursday in a 6-1 win at Albert Gallatin. The victory clinched a playoff spot for Belle Vernon (10-5-1) in Class 3A.
Norwin senior Carter Breen, meantime, eclipsed the Knights’ career goals record as he reached 64 after a two-goal night in a 6-0 shutout of rival Penn-Trafford.
Matt Hayden held the previous mark of 63 since 1999.
Breen has nearly half of his goals — 31 — this season for the Section 3-AAAA champion Knights (14-1-1), ranked No. 2 by the Tribune-Review.
