Last night the boys made the trip west down 92 hwy to Platte County to take on the Pirates. The JV started the night off. In the first half, the JV boys played hard and looked good at times, but were unable to find the back of the net. They went into halftime down 1-0. Second half was scoreless until Chance Coats intercepted a pass from the goalie and hit a volley into the back of the net for JV's first goal of the season. Unfortunately, Platte County scored in the last 5 minutes to take the win 2-1. With 20 JV players, it has been difficult to get into a flow, but last night the boys started to play well together. Shoutout to Coach Tichenor and Coach Behney for the JV's continual improvement. The Varsity game was the typical 92 hwy rivalry game. The first half saw both teams battling to score, but both defenses were up to the challenge. West Alden drew a foul in the box and stepped up to take a PK. The Platte County goalie made an amazing save and kept the score 0-0 at halftime. The boys looked good in the first half and saw 16 players get a lot of playing time. Second half, the Pirates came out and scored a couple in the first 15 minutes. The boys didn't hang their heads and continued to push for the first goal of the game. Finally, with about 15-20 minutes left, West dribbled across the top of the box and slipped a pass to Senior Preston Sheller who buried it in the back of the net to cut the lead to 2-1. It was Preston's first goal of the season. A few minutes later, West intercepted a pass from the defense, beat a couple of them and found the upper part of the goal on an incredible individual effort. With about 15 minutes left in the game, the score was now tied 2-2. With under 10 minutes left, West drew another foul in the box and passed the PK off to Colton Barrett. Again the Pirates goalie made a great save on the shot and another when West followed the rebound. West had another chance but was turned away on another amazing save on a ball that was headed to the top corner of the goal. Platte County had a chance but their shot hit the post, so we headed to OT. In OT, both teams were exhausted and were held scoreless. Onto PKs to decide the game. West stepped up and scored the first one and so did the Pirates. With it 2-1, Preston stepped up and made it 2-2. After a great save by Lucas Fredlund, the Pirates goalie also made a great save. The 4th PK saw Platte county score to make it 3-2, but Caden Harrold stepped up and scored to make it 3-3. Platte county scored on the 5th PK, and so did Colton. We moved to the 6th PK. Dylan Boydston tied the PK's up 5-5 when he buried it in the net. Platte County sailed one over the crossbar, so Norman Herndon stepped up to try and win it, but the goal made another great save to keep it 5-5. Bronx Bell calmly made his after they made theirs to make it 6-6. Onto the 9th PK. Platte County made theirs, and Max Mallet just placed it wide of the post. Platte County won 2-2 (7-6 PKs). The coaching staff was very proud of how we played. We showed growth and had many chances to win the game, but unfortunately it wasn't to be. There were a lot of great games by many of our players, but the boys played really well as a team and showed lots of improvement. The loss now puts us at 2-7 on the season, but we are a young team and the biggest thing is we are improving every game. We travel to St. Joe Benton tomorrow, then finally are at home on Thursday against Oak Park. JV plays at 5 and Varsity follows at 6:30.
