Game 12: vs. Blue Valley at BV West (2-0)
In our first game back from St. Louis we were pretty solid. Yes, we could have scored more, but more importantly, we created chances and allowed very few, if any.
In his debut match at starting centerback, Matt Ewert showed well. BWhite named him the BWhite Player of the Match, for one. We cashed a corner with his running of the slot. In fact, he won 4 balls in that spot, just missing on another one. He also paired well with Aubrey in the back. Blue Valley did not generate much in the center of the field as Matt cleared so much with his head.
B had to give a big shoutout for Landon Wirt as well. Not only did he get the game-winning goal, but he also generated six corner kicks. (I don't know if that is a Saint record, but it should be.)
The Tigers' keeper made a great save on a Parker Stoecklein shot from the top of the box and a couple of difficult saves on a couple of other shots, so we were generating some offense.
Lots of kids played and played well, and we kept a clean sheet. This defense is what we will need in our last four matches down murders' row: we start Tuesday with Rockhurst.
