Firecrackers Score Early and Often
26 April
David Ahlgren
We had a great start to the season, and it
started back in February. Thanks to John Basanese, we were able to
practice up at Valley Christian in the months leading up to the start of
the Spring '06 season.
Not only did we pass well, but we won the
ball in the air, we were the first to the ball on the ground, and we
shut their attack down almost immediately. It was a tremendous
effort all around!
Ronnie Jenkins was nice enough to recap the
scoring of the game:goal 1
Jenkins played a through ball splitting the
defense down the middle into the feet of Jeremy Basanese, who turned
past the defender and shot the ball into the side netting sending the
keeper the wrong way.
goal 2
Ahlgren received the on top of the box and fought
off 3 defenders. He then laid the ball off to Jenkins who shot the ball
through the defender and into the top corner from 20 yards out.
goal 3
Jenkins received the ball on the halfway line and
played a 40 yd cross field ball over the defense to Ahlgren who took the
ball past the defender with his first touch and passed the ball into the
side netting, as the keeper slid into him and the last defender tackled
him from behind.
goal 4
Justin Basanese took a long throw in towards
Ahlgren who challenged two defenders and the keeper and won, heading the
ball into the goal.
2nd half
goal 5
Jenkins picked up the ball just inside the
opposing teams half, looked up and threaded the ball into Ahlgren's
feet. Ahlgren then turned and beat his defender, went around the
keeper and slotted the ball home.
goal 6
Ahlgren took a quick, short corner to Jenkins who
beat a defender on the base line with a double scissors, slotted the
ball to the top of the 6 yard box to Josh Patton, who put the ball into
the roof of the net.
