Last Tuesday we traveled to Richland to renew the cross river rivalry that hasn't been played in the last three years. In the past the rivalry was pretty one sided with Richland enjoying the majority of the victories. This is a new batch of Suns however, and they are looking to create their own legacy.
The game started out pretty uneventful. The boys were a little sluggish to start off and played pretty flat. It took thirty minutes for the Suns to put some dangerous runs together. Eventually Phil Vorhies sent a long ball down to the corner that Jarad Brisbin tracked down and crossed to the waiting Jake Zoulek who got a boot to it and sent the ball to the back of the net. It was a beautiful play and a wonderful finish by Zoulek. Brisbin on the other hand got some cleat marks on the ankle for his trouble, he was happy though as he collected his third assist of the season. The Bombers wouldn't be happy to go to the half with a 1-0 deficit so with two minutes left in the half their outside mid crossed the ball over two of our defenders to the waiting Richland striker who calmly chipped the ball over Branden Hale. This unfortunately ended Hales shutout streak which had just surpassed 200 minutes.
At half time the boys were made aware of their lackluster half as the coaches asked them to come out and play with more passion and a greater desire to win. For the second game in a row the boys responded with a goal in opening minutes of the second half. It was once again the Brisbin-Zoulek connection that netted the second goal. Freshmen Jake Zoulek earned his first career multi goal game and his second game winning goal in three games.
The coaches were happy with the second half play even though the game ended 2-1. We uncharacteristically missed a penalty kick, as well as a break away with just a few minutes left in the game. It was a huge win to keep the Suns at the top of the league table at 3-1,

the reson for southridge's recent success has to be the strong play of there center mids. Corey and
Bill have done a great job of controlling the middle and suporting the forwards.
Well said. Coach Elfering thought these boys could contribute well in those postitions, as both are actually forwards but are answering the call and helping their team in anyway possible. Well done Corey and Bill.
Please keep the comments coming.
can't wait for the rematch between the suns and the bombers. the bombers are a new team.
-#14 of the bombers
It's true actually, although the bombers have been conceding many goals, their offense has really woken up. If the defense stands up and hits hard it could easily go Richlands way, that is if the bombers beat WAHI and southridge stays where they are so that a rematch would occur. Thats how i would see the outcome
