The defending Class 6A state champions picked a good time to break out Saturday morning.
After Mountain Home scored two goals in the span of 12 minutes to take a lead in the second half of the Class 6A state tournament, Siloam Springs scored five goals in the final 15:17 for a 5-2 comeback victory.
