Asheville--In perhaps the state's largest soccer rivalry game, Asheville tied Roberson 1-1 when the game was called due to weather conditions.

However, the game could have declared a Roberson victory by a score of 2-1. An official incorrectly awarded a goal to Roberson that hit the side of the net.  John Mitchell of T.C. Roberson attempted a header off of a corner kick that missed the goal.

Mitchell and Roberson coach Rob Wilcher corrected the official and refused the goal.

And another chapter of the Asheville-Roberson rivalry comes to a close with a sign of sportsmanship.
