Cavaliers shoot past Cats

 


COLDWATER- Coldwater controlled the shots in the first half of Saturday afternoon's contest with visiting Spencerville but wouldn't be able to break through on the Cavalier Stadium scoreboard until the second half as they erupted for five goals and a 5-1 victory. 

Spencerville keeper Sydney LeMar faced and turned away nearly double digit Cavalier shots in the first half that included a point blank effort by Mallory Kremer with 6:10 before the break but found herself in just as much peril after the two side switched goals at the break.

Ava Giere put Coldwater on top 1-0 with 38:52 with the first of her two goals on the afternoon and helped set up a second marker just minutes later as freshman teammate Leah Kaiser scored with 35:46 to run the advantage to 2-0. 

The Cavs pushed their lead to 3-0 with 27:19 left in the second half on the second goal of the day and ninth of the season for Giere, the second leading goal scorer in school history. 

Following a handball in the box against Coldwater at 26:01, Spencerville's Raigan Staup raced a ball past Cavalier keeper Elise Kramer for her third goal of the season on a penalty kick to trim the lead to 3-1.


In the first half of play Coldwater accrued four corner kicks and added to their game total in the second forty minutes as they would pick up eight chances from the same location.

Offensively Coldwater controlled the field and time of possession in the contest and upped their lead to 4-1 with 16:42 on the first of two goals from senior Janelle Halterman. 

Halterman's second goal came with 10:53 and pushed the advantage to the final score of 5-1 to secure the WOSL victory for the Cavaliers and their first in three years over the Bearcats.

Tuesday night Spencerville (1-2, 0-1) will battle Columbus Grove in a 5 P.M. kickoff at Memorial Field in a game that can be heard live on Zsports3 while Coldwater (3-1, 1-0) is off until Thursday when they host Delphos St. Johns at 6 P.M.

We should all have this kind of friend

  The picture above is of one of the best hearted people I've ever met and myself at a wrestling event.  When he posted that same picture on facebook for my birthday in 2020 he had this as it's caption: Four score and some odd years ago, this dude wanted to job shadow and intern with me. Little did we know then that he would become one of my brothers. To be honest i dont know which birthday it is, but i know he will have a shockingly good time. Love ya fam!! To be able to sit here and explain to you just how many things that Aaron Molaski did to give me a chance to be someone in our shared profession would take forever and to be honest with you I didn't realize some of them until after he passed away on December 20th, 2021.  For the next couple of weeks after losing my friend I will be honest I felt like a zombie inside and tried to come up with any way I could while calling games to honor him when given a chance from using his catchphrase boomshakalaka or his personal cred

Tigers, Bearcats play to tie

Image
SPENCERVILLE - Jackson Center and Spencerville played to a 2-2 tie at Memorial Field on Thursday night as both teams opened up the WOSL portion of their schedule.  During a fast and physical first half the visiting Tigers reached the scoreboard first off of a corner kick and a headed bouncing ball kicked into the back of the net by Trevor Sosby. Sosby's team leading fifth goal of the season put his team on top 1-0 with 18:22 remaining before the halftime buzzer. Goal keepers Dominic Adkins of Spencerville and Candon Calhoun of Jackson Center fought off multiple rushes from opposing offenses in the goal box for the rest of the half to keep the score at just a single goal advantage at the break.  In their past three meetings on the pitch the Tigers had outscored the Bearcats 20-1 on their way to a trio of wins, but found themselves on this night when the second half opened up taking on a fast and furious Spencerville attack looking to even things up quickly.

Riders race past Cats to open season

Image
  LIMA - The St. Marys Roughriders opened their 2020 season with a sluggish first half but found a way to pull it all together in the second half as they raced past host Bath 27-7 on Friday night.  Though they were forced to punt four times and turned the ball over twice in the first half, the Roughriders offense utilized short fields on five of their second half series to push points onto the Bath scoreboard.  Twice in the first half the St. Marys offense found themselves inside the Wildcats 20 but were forced to send out the defensive unit thanks to a fumble at the goal line and a turnover on downs.  Bath's offense fared about as well as the Riders did in the scoring department as they saw their first drive come to an end on a Tanner Howell forced fumble and followed by a plethora of punts on their remaining opening half drives.  On the second play of the third quarter it was Howell again who victimized the Cats offense as he stepped in front of a pass from freshman QB Bradyn Fle
