ASH/Menard

[beckhamismyidol]

Really really good game for ASH. Scored a goal about 5 minutes in from way out, lobbed the keeper. I think the last touch was from Austin Vidrine but not sure. Menard equalized through Juneau on a goal where the ASH keeper came out and collided with him but he still got his head on it. I think it was his 100th goal for Menard too. ASH then capitalized on a miscommunication between the menard sweeper and goalkeeper and had an easy tap in for Matt Chatelain to make it 2-1 at halftime. Menard came out really hard in the second half and their goal, although controversial was deserved. COrner came in and it looked as though the guy on the line cleared it, the linesman made no indication until very late that it went in, I still don't think it did but who knows. Menard then took the lead through a pretty good goal, cross came in and Juneau took it on a volley, right through the keeper's legs.
ASH battled back really well and had a long throw into the box and as the keeper came out to claim the ball, Chatelain snuck in to nod it past him with a header to tie it up again. From there it really was all ASH and the deserved winner came about 8 minutes from time if I recall, breakaway for ASH and I think it was Mason Vidrine that was fouled in the box and Michael Broadwell scored the resulting penalty kick to win the game. Chatelain jumped on another defensive error to complete his hat trick and seal the game 5-3. Really good game, ASH's Abrahm Ebersohn tormented the menard defenders all night with some nice footwork and penetrating through balls and Chatelain's work-rate up front proved killer. They play a really good passing game now and if they build and improve on this result I see them doing better than expected in the playoffs.

As beckham said, a very well played game for ASH. They managed to capitalize on Menard's mental breakdowns. First goal from ASH came when a Menard defender attempted to clear the ball and ricocheted off the ASH player and "lobbed" Menard's keeper. Equalizer was by Juneau off the header (100th goal of his career). Second ASH goal was miscommunication between Menard's sweeper and keeper. Keeper called him off, realized he was out of the box and had a mental breakdown and didn't use his feet. Menard's second goal was quite controversial, AR did not make the call then the Referee made the call later. Goal scored by Ellis Descant. Juneau scored again on the volley. ASH's equalizer was a well thrown ball with their player heading it past the keeper. The ASH pk was a little odd, referee signaled play on, but AR held his ground and a PK ensued with ASH taking the lead. Fifth goal by ASH was another Menard mental breakdown.

ASH played well tonight, their passing game tormented Menard all night. Good Luck to ASH, Deridder and Pineville in district play and the play-offs.

both teams played good, a lot of controversial calls on the reff but a good game by both teams

ASH did play a fairly decent game last night, but they are sloppy at times in the back. Their midfield is sending great thru balls up top, but the forwards need to work on timing their runs. (a lot of offsides calls). All in all, great job ASH.

In this game once again Zach Chatelain showed his brilliance he was the best player whenever he stepped foot on the field.but unfortunatly for all the spectators we were un able to watch him for long due to his injury. but when he was on it was like watching fireworks you could just see explosions of his greatness everywhere,dominating the other team as if it were the easiest thing in the world.
