Blue Jays Surprise Lakers
The Camdenton Lakers came to Marshfield, Monday, in 2 buses. That’s how many players they have signed up in their soccer program. The Marshfield crowd may have been surprised by the amount of players but the Lakers were surprised by the intensity of the play from the Blue Jays. The teams fought hard for the entire 1st half of the game, both teams remaining scoreless until the last 5 minutes of the half. Then, Ethan Replogle put one past the Laker keeper putting Marshfield on the board first. Robert Martin got the assist. The fact that the Jays scored first floored the Lakers, who were expecting a much easier go of it. Then with stoppage time on the clock the Lakers managed to get one past goalkeep Willis Zirschky to make the score 1-1 going into halftime.
The second half saw just as intesive play, with the Lakers getting several yellow cards as they tried to break the tie. They finally managed just that, with 18 minutes left on the clock. The Jays continued to keep the pressure on but just couldn’t capitalize on their shots at goal. Camdenton eventually put one more in the box with 8 minutes left in the game. The final score was 1-3. The Jays have really stepped up their game as last year, the Lakers scored 7 goals. Good Job Jays!
The JV Jays didn’t have the drive they normally exhibit. After playing three games on Saturday, the boys were exhausted and it showed. Although they tried they just didn’t have it. The final was 0-4.
The Jays fly to Springfield tomorrow to play New Covenant, game time is 4:00.

Last years score was 4-0. Foul count was Camdenton 35 and Marshfield 5. I think this is a little lopsided don’t you think.
