The
Jordan Small Middle School boys’ and girls’ soccer teams travelled to Auburn to
hit the field for games against Saint Dominic Academy on Monday, September 16th.
Boys
The
boys started strong with good defense right from the start. Raymond was
aggressive with solid passing and communication. Raymond had multiple shots on
goal and did a good job of keeping the ball mostly on the St. Dom’s side of the
field for a large part of the first half. Raymond also had substantial offense
with three goals in the first half. Hunter Simpson, #9, Dylan Hayes, #44 and
Andrew Hare, #20 all scored.
Half:
3-0
Final:
4-1, Raymond
“We
lost to Waynflete the first game of the year and today was a total 180,”
observed coach Jim Beers. “The boys possessed the ball a lot better, passed to
each other a lot better, didn’t have their heads down looking at their laces
today. We had great sharing of the ball - and they came out and executed.”
Girls
The
girls began strong too with nice passing and top-notch defense, preventing
Saint Dominic’s from scoring the entire first half. The girls were working hard
to get the ball to the Saint Dominic’s side of the field and succeeded several
times but was unable to score in the first half.
Half:
tied at 0
Raymond
continued strong defense and was going hard after the ball. They worked to be
first to the ball and got and kept possessions. Raymond gave it their all, but
Saint Dominic’s took this game.
Final:
1-0
“Their
ability to come together as a team [contributed to some of their successes].
The defense was super strong. They were able to close out some really heavy
shooters. The forward line held it together really well and my midis did really
well today. It’s about how they talk to one another. This team is pretty
spectacular,” said coach Adina Baseler.
