Lovett Varsity Boys v
Whitefield 2-1 This one was a nail biter, Jack Hall was still
injured and other players were below their best. The game
saw debuts from Freshman Harrison Dykes and Sophomores Jack
Lally and Will Freihofer. Whitefield supporters were very vocal and clearly
raised the level of the Whitefield team play. After a fairly even first 25
minutes, Lovett took the lead with a great diving header from Jamie White
from a free kick expertly taken by Boone Dupree. The Lions held out for a 1-0
lead at the half. The second half saw Whitefield up their tempo and the
Lovett goal came under more pressure. Whitefield eventually got the equalizer
from a long throw. The game went back and forth until the final 2
minutes. Overtime looked a certainty when Christian Baker brought the
ball up the right touchline and struck a long ball into the path of Andrew
Bleke. Bleke streaked away and with the Whitefield defenders closing fast,
unleashed a world class strike low just inside the far post to give Lovett
the victory. It has to be said that this was not the Lions best
performance and they will have to step it up when they return from
Spring Break to face the likes of Walker, Pace, Marist and
Westminster, but for now that have a 100% record and a
perfect pre-spring break record. Time to rest up, get healthy and come back
focused on the 2006 State Cup. (Note: I only took pictures during the first 20
minutes of play, so I don’t have photos of all the players) |
