On another hot day, the boys traveled out to Holland to play against Holland High School and Gull Lake in the Holland Invitational. 

The first game started bright and early at 8:30 AM against a technically gifted Holland team. The match began very back and forth with both teams struggling to control the game. However, the Eagles took the lead off of some confusion in the box, with Miles Bourland and Boris Lalic high up the field able to tuck the ball away. Shortly after, Holland managed to even the score with an attacker dribbling through multiple defenders before laying the ball off to a teammate who fired into the far net. 

After half-time the Eagles got sucker punched with two quick succession goals from Holland that left the team reeling a bit. Holland sustained the pressure for most of the half before the Eagles got a break through Miles. A Holland defender fouled him in the box and he was able to tuck away the penalty nicely. A nice opportunity came to Miles once again, but the shot went just wide. After that, the team looked a bit more lively, with even defenders making runs up the field. However, eventually fatigue set in and Holland capped the game off with another goal to end it 4-2.

With so few subs, the game against Gull Lake was a battle against fatigue. Defenders Isaiah King, Andrew Overvoorde, Carter Goodyke, Gerrit Boer, and goal keeper Mark VanHekken spent the game constantly dealing with the pressure from a well disciplined Gull Lake team. The Eagles struggled to maintain possession with fatigue becoming even more evident. Gull Lake's constant pressure eventually ended half-time with a 2-0 lead. 

The second half was a good effort from the boys who moved the ball nicely, but didn't have the legs to keep it up with so few substitutes. Gull Lake found the net two more times, before a nice sequence of play through the midfield of Soren White and Luiz Gomez were able to find Charlie Kileen out wide. He played a ball to the feet of Miles, who was able to dance through a couple of defenders before rifling a shot home. The game ended in a 4-1 loss, but the JV Eagles showed very good resilience through some tough conditions.
