The Marshfield Blue Jays hosted Lebanon, Thursday night, in front of a shivering crowd. In the first half of the game, the Jays made the vistors aware that it wasn’t going to be a walk over. After a major tangle up at the goal box, Lebanon got the first score, from a misfired shot off one of the Jays. But later, in the that same half, Marshfield’s CJ Obermaier put one in the box with the assist coming from Willis Zirschky, who recieved the ball from a well placed pass off the boot of Austin Fairbairn. Proving once again that it takes a team to play soccer. The score remained 1-1 at halftime.
The second half proved to be a different kind of game. The Jays just didn’t come out with the same enthusiasm that they had exhibited in the first half. The defender’s, Adam Callaway and Duell Wilson get extra kudos for the way they played the game, helping to keep the score to the final 1-5.
The JV Jays also struggled with their task last night. they did play with alot of heart but just couldn’t subdue the visitors. The JV team did hold their opponent the first half, keeping the score 0-0 at half. The Jays came out and continued to thwart most of the efforts made by Lebanon.The final score of that game was 0-2.
Sorry, I don’t have stats for this game, I know we had several shots at goal and Cory Dotson had several saves, I just don’t have that info. I will try and redeem myself next time!
The Jays travel to West Plains, Monday, to play the Zizzers. Let’s get this one Jays!!! GO JAYS!!!!
