PALMER — Heading into the final stretch of his 16th season as the head coach of the Colony Knights, former Palmer standout and 1992 PHS graduate Jeremy Johnson has faced his old team more times than he can probably count. But on Saturday, Johnson’s Knights’ scored their biggest win over his alma mater during his tenure.
Hunter Fisher netted four goals to lead the Knights to a 10-0 win over the Moose at Colony High School. Fisher posted the natural hat trick between the 10th and 45th minutes, and added his fourth score early in the second half.
James Meaney added a pair of goals for Colony. His second, which came in the 3rd minute, gave him 19 for the season, which breaks a school record set by former standout Nathan Chud in 2000.
John Meaney and Oliver Querin added goals. Dan Garcia also scored his first career goal, converting a penalty kick late in the game.
