Blue Jays Get out of the Hornets Nest
The Marshfield Blue Jays returned to their home field Wednesday evening, after a devastating loss to West Plains on Monday night. Monday, the Varsity Jays lost to the Zizzer’s 1-8. In fairness to the Jays, they played hard, but were just no match for the 1-2 touch play of the West Plains team. The Jays only goal came off the boot of Robert Martin which kept the game from being a shut out.
The JV Jays faired much better beating the JV Zizzers . The JV Jays went to halftime 0-0, but came out the second half and took control. The first goal of the game was scored by the brothers, Callihan. Sam sent the ball up to Joe who found the back of the net to make the score 1-0. Then with nine minutes left in the half, Wes O’Neal planted one, off the throw in from CJ Obermaier. The final goal of the game, came when Josh Morgan headed the ball in the box with the assist once again from Obermaier. The JV Jays went on to win the match 3-0.
The Blues Jays took the field again on Wednesday against the Hillcrest Hornets. Much to the dismay of the home team spectators the Hornets came out ready to play and the Jays didn’t. Hillcrest put the ball into the box just 2 minutes into the match. The Jays just didn’t seem to have their playing shoes on. Again with 22:46 on the clock # 10 from Hillcrest put the ball in the net. Then again in stoppage time. This put the Jays down 0-3 at halftime.
Fortunately, the Blue Jays came back on the field ready to play. Just 2 minutes into the second half, Jesse Day scored with the assist from Ethan Jernigan. Making the score 1-3. Then, Robert Martin put the ball in the box from a penalty kick, thus making it 2-3. The Jays were playing fiercely. The tying shot came during stoppage time when Duell Wilson sent the ball up to Day again, to send the game into overtime. The golden goal came when Ethan Jernigan found the back of the net with the assist from CJ obermaier to make the final 4-3. Way to pull it off BLUE JAYS!!!
The next Jay game is Tuesday at Waynesville, game time 4:30. Senior Night will be Thursday Oct 25th at home, against Aurora. Also the Raffle drawing for the Ninetindeo Wii will be held that night. See a soccer player for info.
I would also like to apologize for not being more prompt but have been having computer trouble and cannot always get online. I do stand corrected about the info. about the Cental shut out, it has been brought to my attention that there has been at least one maybe 2 other shut outs before . Thanks for the correction. Let’s keep playing hard. GO JAYS!
