Coach Howington - I'm tempted not to write anything because words just can't do it justice. You had to be there on this one. The Raiders beat Lambert 1-0 and what was one of the most fiercely competitive games of the season. This one was fun to watch. The game was back and forth with the Raiders offense doing most of the damage the first half but coming up empty. In the second half the tables were turned with Lambert constantly pressuring the Raiders defense. Outstanding goalkeeping by Warren Cherry and Jeremy Noens turned back Lambert again and again. Outstanding defense by David Roel, Sasha Jean, Nick Bourne and Schuyler Osthoff kept a very strong and talented Lambert team zeroed out.

Now the good part: the Raiders were fouled about 30 yards out from the goal with about 13 minutes left in the game. Cade Awbrey took the direct kick and buried it in the upper 90 leaving the Lambert goalkeeper rooted to the ground and helplessly looking on.

High 5s to all players on the team as this was truly an entire team effort in this win. The jv boys are now 4-1 overall. The next game is March 5 at home against Northview at 7:30. Come out and cheer them on.
