Camdenton Lakers – 7
Sedalia Smith-Cotton – 1
In a game that indicates how strong the competitive juices flow between these teams, despite the move out of District 9 by Camdenton, these Central Missouri squads went at each other hard from the opening kick off. After seeing the Lakers a 2nd time now this season, the key element I see is a willingness across the entire team to go to the ball and challenge every play. It’s like watching a high-pressure EPL game as they force their opponents to play quickly or defend their attack.
The Laker’s got the lead in the 18th minute from a corner kick when #2 Drew Whitney, redirected the ball that fell to him and just over the outreached arms of the goalkeeper. Smith-Cotton thought they had tied the game in the 32nd minute only to see the goal called back for offsides.
I headed home at halftime, having stopped on the way home from a business meeting in Columbia. The second half featured a hat trick by Rayder Bennett, a brace from Jeff Moffitt and one by Nate Buttrum.
Sedalia graduated 10 starters on last years District Championship team but have a pair of talented midfielders leading the way. We’ll check back in on District 9 later this season.

The Logan-Rogersville Wildcats team, 2008 September 18th, after the programs 1st ever win
Rogersville Wildcats – 1 (1st OT)
Webb City Cardinals – 0
In a tightly fought match that both teams will have a hard time forgetting, it was the Wildcats who came out on top this evening, earning the programs first ever win. The goal started in the midfield, with #21 Nathan Davis winning a 50/50 ball and then finding #5, Wes Bird, on the left side. His run down the wing and cross into the box found #14 Brenden Williams unmarked at the far side. Williams confidently nodded the ball into the net past the keeper and the Wildcats had earned their first win in the 88th minute of their 5th game.
For the Cardinals, the team will rue the opportunities lost in regulation as they missed on one breakaway and several corner kicks with balls that went through the six yard box untouched. The best opportunity came late in regulation but #31 for the Wildcats stayed on the post and blocked the shot. Chalk up a Central Ozark Conference win for the Wildcats in soccer this year.
Kickapoo Chiefs – 2 (PK’s)
Chaminade Red Devils – 1
The Chief’s took the lead in the first half on a goal by Ian Kennedy assisted by Skyler Russell, before the Red Knights were able to tie it on a goal by Tony Auck in the second half. Overtime was scoreless, leading to PK’s which the Chief’s won. Skyler Russell takes the last pk and makes it for the win.
The Red Devils are 5th in the current St Louis rankings and have lost to Ft Zumwalt West (Kickapoo defeated them in the Quarterfinals last year) while going 1-2 at the Great Midwest Classic last weekend. They face #1 CBC on Saturday in their first MCC game of the season.
