CATS TOP SAVANNAH

The Wildcats topped the Savannah Savages 5-0 in the second round of the Platte County Soccer Tournament. The team showed it's depth tonight with five goals from five girls. Scoring was shared by Anna Holden, Alex Erickson, Karson Wilson, Shalyn Wheeler and Anisa Alexander. The stingy defense held strong and is beginning to play with more poise out of the back. Sara Clarke earned her second shutout in as many games. I'm VERY impressed with many of our young players that have come in this season. They show a great level of play walking in the door.

I stayed over for the second game to get a sense of who we might end up playing on Saturday (1:00 PM) and caught the Platte County Pirates vs the Staley Falcons. The first 10 minutes had me thinking this would be a blowout as the Pirates dominated play and pummeled the Falcons with shots. And then it was like someone took the hood off the Falcon as these girls came alive and just flat brought it! It was a great game with lots of quality soccer on both side; physical but clean. Both teams moved the ball well through their defense and midfield but the Pirates seemed to have a better time of it through the attacking third and put more shots on goal. The score was 1-0 Pirates at the half when I left but the way it was going, I'd hate to count the Falcons out. I'm looking forward to playing either of them. The Cats will face the winner at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Go Wildcats!
