Sedalia Sacred Heart Cup

The Sedalia Sacred Heart Lady Gremlins are hosting their annual tournament this weekend. In addition to Class 2 Osage, the event features a lineup of Class 1 programs from Central and Western Missouri. Of interest to my readers are Sacred Heart and Stover from District 10 and Southern Boone from District 9. SoBoCo is the #1 seed and reached the Quarterfinals last year, losing to Catholic. The tournament winner will be well prepared for the upcoming District playoffs.

Marshfield Wins Willard Invitational

Danielle Coffman, Marshfield Blue Jays (2012)

The Marshfield Blue Jays sent a message to Class 2 District 11 with their win at Willard today. The weekend featured three wins, all by a single goal, as they exhibited the defensive fortitude necessary to win titles as well as having the ability to score goals when needed. That includes a 2-1 comeback win over nemesis Bolivar in the morning semifinal match.

Willard Tigers – 0
Marshfield Blue Jays – 1
The Jays game winner came in the 19th minute when junior Danielle Coffman (pictured) ran on to Alex Cantrell’s square ball from the left side. Coffman ran unmarked into the box and confidently slid her shot to the far side, freezing Willard’s keeper.
