Genoa-Kingston is off to a quick start at 5-1 and two freshmen midfielders have helped the Cogs early on. Tommy Hansen and Juan Lechuga are two key contributors.

One of Hansen’s best games came against Winnebago on Aug.  29, when he scored the game-tying goal midway through the second half and then assisted on Cris Camargo’s game-winner about 10 minutes later.

“We had him starting out on the outside [midfield] and we moved him inside because of the height,” G-K coach Randy Tate said. “He makes a good target for corner kicks. He handles the ball in the air really well, and he’s good with his height.”
