JHS #17 Kyle finishes the goal at 30 min left after STM gk mishandles an earlier shot & lets it fumble out of his grip! Unfortunate play, gk!
JHS 1-0 STM

Possession very much in JHS hands...
JHS #5 cranked shot from way out that sails wide right.
Soon JHS #26 sends in a free kick from left b/c of trip but STM lucked out.
Another opp for JHS & STM gk makes good saves/stops, but can't hold onto ball. That's how JHS scored 1st goal & now several similar opps off gk not controlling save. STM defender just saved a goal for gk off JHS shot.
Still 1-0!

STM #27 gets an opp off cross from right, but gk knocks away...
JHS mom: "Oh, this is the talking ref...He explains everything. Very helpful..." Yes, this is same ref who got into "comical" conversation with Dutchtown head coach about definition of (what entails) "advantage" during yesterday's match vs. St. Louis...

LOL...
How'd I get into this M??
Very weird advantage he gave us pinned in our own corner by waiving off the offsides call the AR made against STL and allowed us to hold possession pinned to our corner flag with back to field because our defender got to the ball before the offside forward...instead of honoring the offsides and letting us have a set kick.
Lol

STM trying to settle in a bit & gets another opp that gets headed over crossbar.
Then JHS #12 has breakaway down left - this guy is speedy! - that he gets into 1v1 with gk & tries to punch it in from left but gk knocks it away for corner. Then JHS #7(?) gets a shot opp off corner but cranks the easy shot way over crossbar!
1-0 still!

JHS #12 blazing past all defenders on right line then beautiful cross to bud to finish but luckily for STM a defender clears away!
Soon after another shot opp by JHS #11(?) that hits a defender & bounces away.
Then a bit later STM #5 takes free kick for takedown(?) that is nice on goal & has to be fallen on by JHS gk.

STM pressing & #15 finally gets a shot I guess (really sent into box for whoever) but JHS gk misjudges it & has to dive up to left upper 90 to deflect away!
Things really heated up on JHS defensive end right before half! Close calls!
Half time: JHS 1-0 STM

Lol What's a good thread without a pitchstalker or goat reference?? That was pretty funny to watch yesterday - the banter between the 2 of you - as he kept jogging around multitasking (officiating/holding convo w/you)...Good times. M

JHS in 1st half has been relentless w/some amazingly well-done set pieces that STM has done well to clear out, very lucky I'd say to a degree, being that their gk is making good stops but not containing ball. Back line very stout for STM - bending but not quite breaking.
STM has had a couple of good opps (not nearly as many or as much pressure as JHS), trying to find a way to navigate through JHS quicksand-like defense...
Start of 2nd half about to get rolling...I see JHS grad Cabos in attendance...

JHS #12 breaks through def off of free kick opp by JHS #26 & his (#12) shot in front of net is blocked to left by diving gk - great save!
1-0 still.

STM with thru ball opp that is led to far ahead of STM star #27 for unrealized opp.
JHS subs in 3 players. A bit ago, 1-2 STM defenders go out injured/exhausted from earlier sandwich with JHS player.
Under 27 min to go!

JHS head coach Hubie upset ("Gotta call it both the same way!") for AR calling ball out on STM but ref calling it other way STM ball. Looked to me & some JHS parents that JHS back-kicked it out. Play happened in front of us...

JHS #5 injures himself temporarily for crashing hardcore into STM player. Tries to catch breath, but is fine after a bit. STM #8 soon gets escorted by ref to bench to swap out his shorts (I guess?).
With 18.5 min to go, JHS with a beautiful thru ball to #17 who outlasts STM def, including last line of def STM #2 who flails at him before the 1v1 easy goal past diving helpless gk!
JHS 2-0 STM

STM given free kick outside box for high kick which might have been really for the uncalled over-the-back a moment earlier? Sails over crossbar.
12 min left, JHS #40 scores a header (missed as typing above) over def back line. Apparently all offsides except 1 JHS so legit.
JHS 3-0 STM...less than 8 min left!

Gk was out of position due to the header, so looped past outstretched arms.
JHS #26 takes amazing free kick for a trip - the shot rattles the right post & deflects away!
JHS #7 soon takes shot from left side that diving gk was able to make great save & collects it in. Great play, gk!
3-0 with 4min to go!
