As the stormy weather began to roll in on Friday night the Eagles girls JV soccer team started off with lightning speed as Vivi Duncan scored within 45 seconds of the kickoff whistle. Vivi would score again and Ella Johnson had a great free kick that bounced in for a goal. The Bengals defense was continually challenged as Brooklyn Clem slotted in a shot. Delaney Denton was in the perfect spot to tuck the ball in the back of the net off a beautiful ball by Clem that glanced off the crossbar. With just a few minutes left in the first half the refs postponed the game due to thunder and lightning. The weather persisted so the game was eventually called off.

We traveled to Thornapple Kellog where they held a four-team quad. The teams that participated besides the host were Grand Rapids Christian, Grandville, and North Pointe Christian. The format was 1-6 doubles flights playing the best two of three fast 4 sets. That's the first to 4 games win by two, unless it's 4-4, then the next game wins that set. If they split sets the third set was determined by a 10 point super tie breaker. The Eagles did not disappoint and represented us in spectacular fashion. Everyone was extremely focused, and was on a mission to win from start to finish. We all played with enthusiasm and great sportsmanship on our way to winning all but one match in straight sets. Overall, we won 17 matches with 1 loss. We lost a match where teammates had to play each other, in 3rd set 10-point super tie breaker to determine the winner. This was a true team effort because most of us had to share playing time. In the past we've always come up 2nd in this quad
