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.
