Congratulations To Aiken, Stewart and Donson

The High School basketball All-Star game was played Saturday. The teams are split between City schools and Area schools. There were three Southwest Soccer All-Stars who also played in the basketball event.

Chris Aiken, Greenwood Blue Jays, played for the City team which won 97-95 after three OT’s. Doesn’t look like Chris scored in the game but then again, someone has to pass the ball to Trey Starks of Hillcrest who scored 40.

Shelby Stewart, Parkview Vikings, played on the winning City team while scoring 11 points.

Najee Donson, Logan-Rogersville Wildcats, played for the Area team and scoreed 3 points in the 56-51 loss.

I’ll have information packets and a registration form sorted out Monday for the players in this years game. I apologize for the delay, this is still volunteer gig and I’ve been trying to pay some bills with client work. If you haven’t contacted me, or added yourself to the Facebook event, please send me an email at ole@SGFsoccer.com Thanks, see you in a week!

Logan-Rogersville Wildcats Count On Strong Defense In Second Season

The South County Mail visited with the Wildcats in advance of their season, which started Monday with their win against Carthage:

Strong defense, solid offense should propel Lady ‘Cats By Nick Snow

“We not only have Stevie (Heidzing) to anchor the defense and Kelsay (Leingang) back in goal, we have Jessica Fredrick and Amanda Davis, who was first team all-district last year,” Wubbena said. “We have added a couple of strong defenders to the mix as well in Kristen Meinert and Amy Coffey. Our defense would not be complete without Shelby Rust as our back midfielder.”

Along with having a solid defense, the Lady ‘Cats also have plenty of leadership. Having six seniors and numerous juniors on this year’s squad has helped a lot, especially with the maturation of the freshman class.

After catching both of the teams opening matches, both wins against COC foes Carthage and Branson, I can attest to the high level of enthusiasm and commitment to team defense. I’d also suggest that GK Kelsay Leingang and center back Stevie Heidzig (who I’d like to see moved into the middle to improve the offensive opportunities for the squad) could play for any team in the region. Najee Donson wasn’t available (on a Spring Break vacation following a full basketball season) for these early games but when she returns she will be the primary focus of the offense.

Thursday Ozarks High School Girls Soccer Report

Greenwood Blue Jays Get Past Logan-Rogersville Wildcats
Greenwood Blue Jays – 2
Rogersville Wildcats – 1
On senior night, freshman Sara Cook scored a goal in each half to help the Blue Jays earn the win against the Wildcats. The first goal came after a scramble in the box and Sara got a shot off a weak clearance that took a wicked bounce in the torn up turf at Field 3 and got past the keeper. Her second goal was worthy of any league in the country when she one-timed a square ball from senior Mariah Allai and buried the ball just inside the near upright on a blast from 16 yards out.

While Greenwood had the majority of the play, Rogersville still has the ability to score despite significant injuries to their already small 1st year roster. Quality play by senior goalkeeper Lauren Cook (pictured above) gave the Jays the margin needed for the win. The Wildcat’s goal was scored by Najee Donson in stoppage time.

There are a large number of senior photos for viewing and purchase on my commercial photo site.

In this Class 3 District 12 match up, Joplin had several opportunities but had a hard time getting it in the net.

Joplin was up 1 V 0 at the half. Hillcrest tied it up with a nice shot by Erin (#39). With about 8 minutes left in the game, Sanders accepted a nice pass from Yasmin Ulloa, worked the ball down field past the Hillcrest defenders, went one on one with goalie and placed the ball just inside the net.
