George Rogers Clark boys soccer coach Ian Collins pinpointed a difference between his Cardinals and Montgomery County following a 2-1 setback to the Indians Tuesday night at the Cardinal Soccer Complex.
“It was more of the same — no defending and no ability to win the ball,” he said. “The game was there to be won, but they wanted it more than we did.”
The contest between the two teams was close, but the Indians pulled away as Clark (2-6-1) mustered its only goal on a score by Logan Blankenship on an assist from Wilson Martin at the 10:30 mark of a corner kick.
Martin had a pair of shots on goal, while Andrew Wilson also had a goal attempt for the Cards.
Clark goal keeper Conner Blankenship collected three saves for Clark in the loss.
In the junior varsity game, Tom Spencer, Kaleb Keanaaina and Jose Villa each had a goal to pace Clark in a 3-1 victory over the Indians.
Alec Carrington and Villa each had an assist, while goal keeper Chandler Gaunce collected 10 saves for the Cards.
“It was a slow first half, but the boys came out and dominated the second half,” Clark junior varsity coach Chase Davis said. “(We had) great movement and connection of passes. Great finishes by Tom Spencer, Jose Villa and Keanaaina.”
The team is at Danville Thursday and returns home to take on Fleming County in a varsity only game at 7 p.m. In the contest Saturday, the Cards will be offering free admission to all current Winchester Youth¿Soccer League players who wear their jerseys to the game. Players are asked to arrive at 6:30 p.m. Each team represented will be announced before the game.
