It was shortly before 8 p.m. Nov. 7 when the gray-haired, mustachioed flower deliveryman rang the doorbell at the house on Abrahams Lane in Villanova, a street of stately homes and affluent residents. When the 50-year-old homeowner opened the door, the delivery man told him the flowers were for his wife, who was not home. So the homeowner took the large bouquet, and the delivery man drove away, only to return moments later. "Don't you want to know who the flowers are from?" he reportedly asked.

With 80 seconds remaining in the first overtime period, Ryan Molyneaux scored the game-winner. And then, instead of running down the field to celebrate with his goalkeeper, Tyler Afflerbach, he just collapsed. The senior cocaptain of the Souderton soccer team was exhausted, and with good reason. But tired legs weren't enough to stop the midfielder from lifting the Indians over Radnor, 2-1, Tuesday night in the first round of the District 1 Class AAA boys' soccer tournament. "It was a great feeling," Molyneaux said of his sudden-death goal.
