Coach Mike Howard, Rolla Bulldogs, Wins 500th Game
Rolla wins their Classic, winning all three games while getting five goals from five players. Look out Ozark Conference :) Catholic takes 2nd Place by finishing 1-1-1 against the Class 2 competition, including a win against Washington and a tie against Hickman.

Rolla Bulldogs – 2
Hickman Kewpies – 0
A blast from just outside the box early in the second half by Ashley Kerr gave the Bulldogs their third straight win to open the season, propelling Coach Mike Howard to the 500th win of his career in the process. Freshman Ellen Spooner provided the final margin with her goal in the 66th. She picked up a loose ball after Jacklyn Standfast’s 30 yard run into the box. Her shot from the far left side carried over the keeper and into the upper side netting.

I’ll have photos and a story about Coach Howard’s accomplishment on Sunday.

Springfield Catholic – 5
Washington Jays – 0
Junior Anna Delong opened the flood gates in the 18th minute when she came back for a loose ball in the offensive third, turned and went straight to goal. Her shot from outside the box found the side netting on the far side and the Irish had the opening they needed. Shaking off the fatigue of four games in three days, in a Spring practice season that hasn’t allowed much in the way of full field game efforts, the Irish cleared the bench while getting goals from four players. The second goal was scored by freshman Shelby Hatz, from Carsen Baron’s corner kick in stoppage time of the first half. Delong got a second goal in the 49th minute, a hard low shot to the near corner. Baron buried a volley after freshman Emily Ortega sent a hard cross from the left. Emily Kessler finished things with a tap in to the far post after freshman Courtney Devlins fine run into the box.

Hickman Kewpies – 1
Washington Jays – 1
The Jays came back to tie the game today after the Kewpies went ahead on Katie Larue’s second goal this weekend.

Rolla Bulldogs – 1
Springfield Catholic – 0
Jacklyn Standfast Kaitlin Bramel got the gamewinner, with the assist from Jaclyn Standfast’s header off Ashely Kerr’s corner. It came in the xxth minute and the Bulldogs continued to press throughout the half as the Irish had difficulty getting started in their third game in three days. The second half saw a more even battle as the youthful Irish team warmed up with the clearing skies. Taking advantage of their wing speed, they had several opportunities in the final 10 minutes to earn the tie but the Bulldog defense is experienced and withstood the pressure.

Saturday, March 22nd

* 3:45 p.m. Rolla vs. Hickman

Coach Mike Howard and his Rolla Lady Bulldogs open their season this weekend with the 2nd Annual Central Federal Savings and Loan Girls Soccer Classic. Sitting on 497 wins, the early season question to be answered will be how soon can the team reach this remarkable goal.

Recent history indicates it won’t be a simple task for the defending District Champions, especially this early in the year. Last years game against Washington ended 0-0. Coach Howard’s record against Jeff Wallace, the new Coach at Hickman is 0-14-3 although it was 4-0-1 against former Coach Jon Strodtman. Catholic has won 2 out of 3 the past three years. I plan on attending a pair of games on Saturday, en route to Mom’s house for Easter, so look for live reports.

Central Federal became the sponsor of the tournament last year and continues their support this year. Central Federal S&L’s donation helps cover the cost of the tournament and allows Rolla to bring in talented high school teams for the tournament. All games will be played at Kiwanis Field on the Bray Sports Complex.

Central Region Preseason Poll and All-Area Team

Posted on by

The Class 1 and Class 2 Coaches from the Central Region have compiled their preseason picks.

Preseason All Area Team
GK – Annie Streumph (Helias)
D – Liz Gayer (Hickman), Caty Newbold (Helias), Jeanna Ross (RB), Caitlyn Guerrant (Fulton),
MF – Alex Litofsky (RB), Shawn Beard (Moberly), Melissa Young (Helias), Latea LaRue (Camdenton), Sarah Hotop (Mexico), Tillie Bill (SBC)
F – Kelsey Sanders (JC), Ashley Russell (Fulton), Lauren Kelly (RB), Andie Wiesner (Moberly)

Honorable Mention: Blaire Baker (Camdenton), Danielle Baumgartner (Helias), Molly Cowley (JC)

Class 2 District 10 Preview:
The Class 2 District 10 race has arguably been the most competitive in the state and this year will be no different as each of the six teams can make a significant run at a district title. One thing that should make this district interesting – three first-year coaches and one second-year coach out of the six district teams. The District 10 winner will more than likely play state power Incarnate Word Academy in a sectional game this May. IWA won its district last year in record-setting fashion – 15-0 over Gateway – en route to a second place finish in Class 2. Incarnate returns two of the top players in the nation and was ranked nationally for the majority of 2007. The Rock Bridge Bruins are defending District champions.

1. Rock Bridge (11-7-5)
2. Helias (12-6)
3. Jefferson City (17-5-2)
4. Hickman (8-11-4)
5. Smith-Cotton (14-7-2)
6. Camdenton (12-12)

Class 1, District 10 Preview:
Defending champ Moberly has all the ingredients to repeat. The Spartans return 10 starters from the team that knocked off upstart Mexico 3-1 in last year’s final after Mexico had surprised defending champ Hannibal in the semifinals. Moberly MF Shawn Beard is one of the smoothest players in the area and she will have plenty around her to work with as coach Robbie Murray will try to repeat his successful fall season. Mexico MF Sarah Hotop will lead Brad Ellebracht’s rapidly improving Bulldog team. Fulton had its best season in school history, but will lose the area’s leading scorer in Jessica Martin. The Hornets do return 1st Team NCMC players F Ashley Russell and D Caitlyn Guerrant. Kirksville played everyone tough, but also loses key field player Rebekah Blankenship. The Tigers return 1st Team NCMC GK Mackenzie Kelly who has the ability to keep her team in any match. Southern Boone and second-year team Canton round out the district for one more year before both teams head to Class 1 next season. Southern Boone’s sophomore MF Tillie Bill will lead a young Eagles team that should also benefit from the addition of senior Courtney Branch, who is playing her first year of soccer. Hannibal lost a solid group of seniors, but will return F Elise Bensman and GK Whitney Voepel to a team that has shared conference and district dominance with Moberly over the past few years. The district winner will more than likely face defending Class 1 state champ St. Dominic in the sectional game.
