Soccer Memories - Ian

Our next installment of Soccer Memories features Ian who is in his first year of college after a stellar high school career.

My favorite memory of soccer was my first college goal. That goals my favorite out of all my years of soccer because I'm a freshman in college and hardly play, but our team had been playing and went down to 9 men vs. 11 and coach had to play everyone to keep rest. We went down a goal in the first half and in the second we came back and tied it. With only two minutes left in the game I slot home the game winning goal. I was excited and all i wanted was to make my parents proud so I had to call them and tell them.

Elida Sectional: Coldwater 2 Delphos St. Johns 0

The Ohio High School Athletic Association tournament often pits teams that played in the regular season against one another once again. Such was the case in the Girls D 3 soccer sectional at Elida on Wednesday evening. Delphos St. Johns had defeated Coldwater 3 - 0 on the Cavaliers home pitch on September 3rd. Based on the previous meeting the Blue Jays came in as the higher seed in the tournament. From the opening whistle it was apparent seeding would have little bearing on this contest.

About Me
