Alvarez Scores Four as Cascade Blanks Estacada 8-0 in First-Half Mercy-Rule Win

Enrique Alvarez scored four goals to power Cascade High School to an 8-0 victory over Estacada on Thursday, with the Cougars reaching the mercy-rule margin during the first half. Alvarez’s finishing provided the decisive push as Cascade overwhelmed Estacada before halftime at its home field in Turner.

Alvarez accounted for half of Cascade’s eight goals and led a concentrated attack that ended the match without the need for a second half. The Cougars consistently turned their pressure into scoring chances, and Alvarez capitalized four times to deliver the match’s standout individual performance. Cascade’s eight-goal output also moved the team to 27 goals this season.

The Cougars complemented their attack by keeping Estacada scoreless throughout the shortened match. Cascade protected its end while continuing to push forward, producing a complete result under clear skies and an 82-degree temperature. With all eight goals coming in the first half, the Cougars secured the clean sheet and mercy-rule victory in commanding fashion.

The result gave Cascade its fourth win of the season, matching its win total from all of last season. The Cougars also reached 27 goals, equaling their total offensive production from the previous campaign. Cascade achieved both benchmarks with additional matches still ahead, underscoring the team’s early progress.

Cascade will next travel to face Central at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 24th.
