Annual Blue-Gold Scrimmage

Game .5 26 August 2020 vs. Saints Junior Varsity  All right—we got to don our actual uniforms, welcome a great set of high school refs (one alum), and, we thought, see this year's team altogether on the field. Well, Eames is still not cleared to play, and Konnesky ended up in quarantine—and then 3 starters were late.  So, not quite what we were hoping. And first half, although we controlled possession, we were a little out of sync.  We lead 1-0 at the half. We showed nice improvement in the second half, scoring 5 more, and when the lights went out with a couple of minutes left in the match, the game had to end. But oh my what a shot from Pope did it end on. It was a drop-the-mike shot to make the final score, 6-0. The coaches named Ryan Pope Man of the Match. He got a nice assist off his perfect corner kick before finishing the shot of the match as it ended. But before those and in between, he just closed space quickly, opened the door for the Garcia overlap that got us our first g

Defense Downs Offense

Game 0 22 August 2020 in a Blue vs. White pre-Blue-Gold Match (0-2) Honestly, this team has been one of the more active during this pandemic. We won the Great Plains 6 v 6 league, playing throughout July, captured a first and a third in two Brian White Classics, losing only one match on a shootout. And we have done most all of this wearing our masks, bringing our own water bottles and balls, social distancing--just trying to do everything we possibly can to get to play some real high school matches this season. So, we have shown we were excited to get things started this week.  So, we finished off tryout week (Congratulations to Liam Ryan, Barrett Kitts, Jacob Muckerman and Zayveon Russell for being named Josh Lents Tryout Award Winners for their grade) Saturday with a shortened scrimmage featuring our varsity and extended varsity in a scrimmage which really pitted the defense against the offense. The defense prevailed 2-0 in a pretty well-played match from both sides. When I asked Bar

Saints Take on Defending State Champs

Game 9: (7-2) 29 September at BV Southwest (0-1) We knew how important this match was going to be for postseason seeding, and we did not get it done, falling 1-0. We gave up a goal in the first five minutes of the match, as the Timberwolves broke us down on our right side and finished a nice ball.  I don't think they had a legitimate chance to score after that, but without our corners and throw-ins, we did not create much either. Their keeper was excellent at challenging every ball we put into the box. His punches started counter-attacks some of the time. Also Southwest plays hard; they go hard to the ball, and they shut down space as well as any other team we have played against this year.  Most of the Southwest attack was broken up by that triangle of Farrar, Muckerman, and Nick Garcia. BWhite named Muckerman and Garcia as the Men of the Match. And both were good. Jacob, however, was at a special level last night; he was the best player on the pitch. Max shut down the left side a
