THE POTTER'S HOUSE HIGH SCHOOL, MI: 0.00
The Boys Varsity Soccer team went into the holiday weekend with a Thursday afternoon match-up against the Potter's House Pumas at Eagle Stadium. The Eagles brought an overpowering offensive game against the visiting Pumas, generating 44 shots and 7 goals on the match.
The Eagle attack started quickly, generating shots almost immediately in the match, but it took nearly 20 minutes before the Eagles could break through when junior John Cassiday drew the defense and slotted a ball across to senior Jackson Mindling to open the scoring. Just minutes later, Cassiday netted his first of the match finding the ball in a scramble in front of the goal and poked in a rebound to make it 2-0. Freshman Liam Jansen added to the tally just two minutes later as he took on a Puma defender on a corner kick and slotted a near-post shot away. Jansen netted his second of the afternoon just four minutes after his first when he intercepted a pass, shook free of a defeder and rifled a shot to the upper corner, helping the Eagles go into the break with a 4-0 lead.
The offense continued in the 2nd half when Cassiday was sent through on two breakways to complete his hat-trick. Mindling closed out the scoring by driving home a header on a corner kick served by sophomore Micah Rogers.
