Ryan Bilyeu, Ozark Tigers (2011)

Ozark Tigers – 2
Glendale Falcons – 0
at Ozark, this District 11 match points to the importance of playoff soccer. The Tiger’s get an important win over Glendale.

Kickapoo is now 4-1 in District 11, having beaten everyone except Glendale. The Falcons fall to 1-1 with three games in the final 2 weeks of the season. Ozark is 2-2 with losses to Kickapoo and Nixa while the Eagles are 2-1. So we look to Monday October 18th when Nixa visits Glendale while Ozark visits Parkview. The Kickapoo vs Glendale game on October 25th may be too late for District seeding, which will begin either that Saturday or the following Monday.

Kickapoo Chiefs – 6
Branson Pirates – 0
In the first of three District 11 games they will play this week, the Chiefs scored three in the first half and a pair in the second to seal the win. The game winner was scored by Josh McCutcheon in the 18th when he challenged for a ball outside the box and powered it into the side netting. The Chiefs got a pair in the final minute of the first half from Aaron Strunk. The first came when McCutcheon lifted a soft ball over the defense that Aaron was able to run onto and as he eluded the first defender he slipped the ball past the keeper and a 2nd defender. On the ensuing kickoff, some confusion in the Branson defense led them to stop playing and Strunk was credited with the ensuing goal.

The second half was a bit more open and as the Pirates were able to move the ball outside to the wings more effectively. The Chiefs clamped down however, while scoring a pair. Elliott Williams got his on a run into the box and McCutcheon got a 2nd on the evening as he slid one through a crowd. UPDATE – I see Nate Lavoy scored while I was moving from the pitch to my car

Willard wasted no time in responding when in the 33rd min Jackson Patillo ran onto Jaxn Rogers corner kick and buried it. It came a minute after an earlier corner kick that Patillo rose to meet at the back post that was saved by Tom Pesek.

Willard added one more at 54 minutes when Jaxn Rogers ran into the right side of the box and buried his 12 yard shot from a severe angle into the roof of the net at the near post. It came as a result of a ball stolen from the Central defense on the left side which was then sent to the far right side by Josh Lingurar who found Rogers.

Sep 10th Games – Parkview Gets Past Crocker

John Bogues, Parkview (#19, 2011) scores the game-winner

John Bogues, Parkview (#19, 2011) scores the game-winner

Parkview Vikings – 2
Crocker Lions – 1
Game winner by John Bogue’s (#19) on a header at the far post from Jordan Houseman’s (#4) corner kick, in the 73rd minute.

MORE PHOTOS WILL BE AVAILABLE SATURDAY

The Vikings needed Bogue’s heroics as the Lions, a Class 1 team that is a likely Sectional opponent for Springfield Catholic in November, got the first goal when AJ Imilkowski broke in on goal and gave Crocker the early lead. The Vikings tied the game on a penalty kick soon afterwards, converted by Brian Otradovec, one of the more exciting forwards in the area this season.

The final 60 minutes was as wide open as the first 20 as both teams were in full attack mode. While entertaining, it is not a strategy that works in November. Crocker is loaded with seniors and returns 10 starters from their District champion squad in 2009. The tools are in place with Nick Goodrich Marshalling the defense, leading by example with a pair of goal line clearances tonight, Cody Williams and Johnathon Crawford in the middle and Teddy Zeigenbein joining AJ up top.

The Vikings are introducing me to a new group of players who are stepping into starting roles this year and developing their own style. Goalkeeper Evin Barber offers a fearless and athletic presence in the goal while Alex Blanco and #8 will be tasked with creating opportunities for Otradovec up top. The Vikings are learning how to move the ball and create opportunities and there were half a dozen that they would have rued until they got the game winner. Here’s to preparing for the real season in late October!

From Brent Foster in the Waynesville Daily Guide – High Hopes, Crocker soccer loaded after 16-3 season

Last season the Crocker High School soccer team reached the quarterfinals of the state tournament. But expectations for this year’s squad are even higher as the Lions return 10 starters and 11 seniors from last year’s 16-3 squad.

The plethora of talent that returns for the Lions includes all-district sophomore goalkeeper Rich Heenan. He finished last year with three shutouts and a 1.64 goals against average. Also back for Crocker is junior forward Teddy Zeigenbein. Zeigenbein finished his sophomore season with 24 goals, 13 assists and was an honorable mention all-state selection.
The Lions also return senior midfielder/forward Cody Gibson who had 13 goals last season.

The Lions get their first chance to live up to those expectations when they begin the season Aug. 27 at West Plains.

9/22 Southwest Missouri High School Soccer Report

Camdenton Lakers host Sedalia Smith-Cotton

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.

New Covenant Academy Warriors – 5
Thomas Jefferson – 1

Greenwood Blue Jays – 2 (PKs)
Bolivar Liberators – 1
Greenwood would dominate the first half of play even though the Liberators got on the board first when Bradley Stillwagon finished an assist from Matt Magana. Greenwood would tie the game with six minutes to go in the first half. No more goals in regulation, with the Jay’s getting the win on the 4th PK.
