Southridge finally recorded the programs first win over Kamiakin. Everyone is so proud of the boys. It was a typical Kamiakin Southridge game with nine yellow cards, one red card, and officiating leaning towards the Brave’s side. But our boys overcame it all to dominate the shootout 3-1 with Brandon Hale blocking three of the four kicks he saw. The scoring got started in the 38th minute with Reise Byrd’s first goal of the season. Phil Vorheis sent a long cross from the back line and with a defender in close pursuit Reise ripped a shot past the on rushing keeper. The Sun’s were elated with the 1-0 half time lead but didn’t come out of the half ready to close the game out. Corey Grady had the best chance after beating three Kamiakin defenders he placed a beautiful shot in the upper seven but it hit the crossbar and went out of bounds. Kamiakin then scored in the 57th minute off a goal that was only let in due to confusion between keeper and defense. Head Coach Chip Elfering was extremely pleased with his players but noted two things, “we have to start closing teams out, and we can’t rest on our previous two wins we need to keep pressing forward.” Once again Brandon Hale played well with nine saves giving him 24 for the season. One player that has been playing well all year and deserves some recognition is Jared Weatherly. He keeps coming up in the coaches post game discussions, and we are real proud of the way he has played thus far. After winning three games in a row our overall record is 3-1.
JV Note: The Junior Varsity squad also prevailed in a shootout for their first ever victory over Kamiakin. Franky Leon scored the regulation goal and leads the team with three goals this season. Record 2-2
