Blue Jays Take On Tigers
The Marshfield Jays took on the Waynesville Tigers, Tuesday night at the Jays home field. The game was one of the best played by the Marshfield players. Unfortunately, the Jays were just not able to beat the older Waynesville team. The game was fast and very physical. The Jays only got one goal, but the team played with a lot of heart and determination. The only goal was scored by Robert Martin, with the assist coming from C.J. Obermaier. Shots at goal were as follows: Austin Fairbairn 2, Ethan Jernigan 2 and Willis Zirschky 1. GK Cory Dotson had 5 saves with special mention of defenders Duell Wilson who had 7 saves and Adam Callaway with 2. Even though the Jays had to take the loss, final 1-3, the improvement of play is evident. We just need to work on the power and accuracy of our goal shots. This leads to promise of more good play at Districts against Monett. First, we travel to Aurora, Thursday, Oct.26, to play the Houn’ Dawgs. Play starts at 4:30.
Next year’s season, should look quite a bit different than this year. The Marshfield team will be playing teams that are in the same age group. There is a lot of promise in this group of boys and they are determined to prove it!.
The JV team also played a good game but were just out gunned by the JV Tigers. They went to half with a 0-3 score. GK for that half, Duell Wilson had 7 saves. The second half GK Willis Zirschky had 2 saves. Final score was 0-5. Shots at goal: Joe Callihan 1, Ethan Replogle 2, Nathan Pierce 1, CJ Obermaier 3.
We would like to extend a special THANKS to Thomas Hyde, our only senior, who was honored last night. Thomas has been a member of the Marshfield Blue Jay soccer team for the last 4 years. He has played with a lot of heart and conviction and we appreciate him greatly. Good Luck Thomas!!! Thank You!!!! Thank you Robert for correcting my mistake!
