Emanuel Gutierrez pulled off a hat trick and Leo Lopez hammered home the final nail in the coffin of a 4-1 win over Lakeland in the championship of the Bethany Christian Boys Soccer Sectional.
Gutierrez got West Noble on the board early in the first half on a tip in off the goalie's fingers, and after Lakeland equalized midway through the first half, West Noble commanded much of the remainder of the match.
Gutierrez slammed home a penalty to put the Chargers up one, then ripped in his third goal minutes later for some breathing room. Lopez added the icing late as the Chargers claimed its first sectional title since 2023 and seventh title overall.
