Despite a final score of 0-6 in their loss to the Kickapoo Chiefs Thurday evening - our defense in particular deserves a PAT ON THE BACK. Although we had several opportunities, the shots would just not go in the net for the Hornets tonight. Holding the Chiefs to only 2 goals 1st half, and allowing only 4 in the 2nd half (with one being what appeared to be a deflected own-goal), shows the tenacity these boys continue to show on the soccer field. We are extremely proud of you guys! Keep up the positive attitude and keep working!
Hornets win x 2 this week. After holding off the Central Bulldogs Monday night, with a 5-4 victory, the Hornets won their 2nd conference game of the 2008 season Tuesday by shutting out the Lebanon Yellowjackets 5-0.
Recent past season’s win records: ‘02 - 1, ‘03 - 1, ‘04 - 1, ‘05 - 1, ‘06 - 2, ‘07 - 2 - and ‘08 - 8 and counting! Great job boys!
Thursday evening the Hornets came home with 2 wins over the West Plains Zizzers. In Varsity action, Hillcrest took the lead early in the second half with a goal from Bryce. Our defense held strong over the Zizzers. The 2nd goal came after a Hornet free kick as Colton Dalton sent a shot from the top of the box off the inside of the far post and in the goal for a 2-0 Hornet win. JV also won, 2-1 was the final score.
Action in the upcoming week includes 3 HOME games. Monday vs Central, Tuesday vs. Lebanon, and Thursday vs. Kickapoo. Make sure you come out and support your HILLCREST HORNETS!
