Ups
These are the results from yesterday’s games
(3/28/2009).
In its second homestand of the season, the Wolpack hosted Bainbridge Blue for both the 7/8 and the 5/6 games...
The 7/8 Purple jumped out to an early lead, and quite simply, never looked back. Led by middie Elliot Allen, the ‘Pack put on quite an exhibition as they executed their offense seemingly at will. With Jack Mac scoring 4, and Alex Raubvogul playing relentless through the middle, the Pack was easily in control of this one from early on. Sage Vogt contributed a circus highlight play, performing some stick magic that resulted in a brilliant assist. The final was 10-3, giving keeper Danny Strick and his team a 4-0 season record so far.
Our 5/6 squad, led by tough offensive play by Sam Brickman (5 goals) and solid all around play by Quincy Milton fought 5/6 Bainbridge right to the brink, forcing the first overtime game of the season with a fantastic late 4th quarter goal to tie things up 8-8. Our guys were in control most of this game, posting a huge advantage in ground balls. Solid defensive play throughout this contest seemed to pay off as the ‘Pack proved that they can indeed play this game tough. In what was a heartbreaking conclusion, Bainbridge scored first in the sudden death OT period, winning the game by a final tally of 9-8. Coach Milton was buoyed by his squad’s resiliency, and looks forward to the remainder of the season as his guys increase their skill and self confidence. Good work, men!
The 3/4’s looked equally as impressive. In a season first “double header” our guys shook off the nasty weather and sloppy field conditions and played Lake Forest Park-Shoreline tough. With the second game a “make up’ for one cancelled the first week, both of yesterday’s contests once again illustrated just how fast these guys are picking things up. They all played hard and fast the first game, and then, started up again and continued to play just as hard right through the second game. The defense looked sharp as well, regularly cutting off past break opportunities, and were able to overcome some big mud pockets to come up with the ball. There was a balanced attack that saw several players getting their first career goals. While we don’t actually score these games, the general consensus among those of us on the sidelines that the ‘Pack would have come out on top in these.
Thanks go out to all parents who were there to help and cheer on their players. The boys play their hearts out and it’s quite apparent just how much they seem to appreciate and enjoy the game. A special thanks goes out to Bryan Schulz and John Scherwin for bringing a few extra canopies for our use. It made a perfectly miserable day waaay more enjoyable to be able to find a bit of shelter from the storm...especially for those of us who were there all day...! (my own feet are finally thawing out...)
