Game #2: Fort Mill 0:1 Riverside - Halftime
Shots: FM 5:1 Riverside
Talk about making the most of your limited opportunities!
Finally this P.A. guy plays something at halftime that is not Hootie or Darius! Geeesssshhh, some of that stuff could put you to sleep. Although the Okies seemed to favor it this morning.
Keep the updates coming for those of us out in the woods!
Would you prefer he play Rush or 50 Cent?
YES!!! Anything that has a pulse would be better. I'd opt for techno, disco, or polka at this point!
ANYTHING FROM THE TRAP MUZIK ALBUM!!!
And the second half is off like a herd of turtles. I will admit to being partial to the fast hand-clapping atmosphere-inducing sound effect to start the half however. Good stuff!!! The spectating Lexington players seem to enjoy it as well!
WOW!!! We just had an outburst from some random fan that yelled out "Ross, No ceilings!" in front of the press box. A middle-aged crowd stares befuddled and dumbfounded as I do.
RHS Ryo Ogawa sidesteps FM's GK Mason Jackson, but his shot sails wide.
I'm sure he has some Oompah Band music.
FM senior Chris Rushing breaks through and toe pokes wide with what was a great game-tying opportunity. Still 1:0 Riverside, 51'
Riverside GK Josh Baker (soph) overplays a cross and the Warriors there is no goal.
FM's Ryan Fielden collects a loose ball and finishes coolly to level the match 1:1. 54'
Crazie and ESPN
For doing such a fine job of keeping us updated, pleases take one of my virgins out petty cash.
Riverside's Grayson Raynor hits a cracker from 20 out, but a great save from Jackson. Warrior corner ... nothing. On with the play ... 59'
Corner for Riverside ... Ogawa's corner sails across and is headed out for another opposite side corner ... Ogawa's corner finds senior Eric Ellenbogen's noggin for a bigtime header goal!
Fort Mill 1:2 Riverside, 63'
Fort Mill's Jason Hirsch has a direct kick and finds Walker Johnson for the equalizer. 2:2 ... game on!
I must say that this match has been very well officiated thus far! Kudos to Mario Delpino, Dennis Cook, and Jeremy Mikell on a job well done.
Ogawa wants a pk as does Coach Dender after Ogawa is planted in the box. Fort Mill scores off the counter ... but wait ... offsides is called. Oh the drama! Dender is given an earful
Fort Mill counters again and Michael Borer nets a great goal from Chris Rushing. The Warriors take the ensuing kickoff and Ogawaya drills home an equalizer. Fans shouting on both sides at the center official for two no-calls that result in scores. Geesh, just after I complemented them!
Fort Mill 3:3 Riverside, 70'
Goals galore at The Cage!!! This is great stuff for the fans!
Great hit from 60 out by Corey Hnat but parried over the bar by Jackson. Corner ... cleared.
Ogawa's free kick, played like a corner is scored by Brent Ayers on 73' as it squirms across the goalline.
Good action here! Fort Mill corner .. can they draw level? NO!!! Near post corner cleared out and now a goalkick for the Warriors.
You don't do the match justice, but I guess it'll have to do for now!
Nifty moves from FM frosh Jon Cutrone gets him cut down and a dangerous free kick for the Yellow Jackets from 22 out in front of goal. Fielden's free kick is parried over for a corner. 75'
Push off called against FM.
Kudos to the excellent ball chasers today. Keeping this game moving nicely! Riverside freshman Evan Brandon tangled up and wins a free kick for the Warriors. Long free kick goes to the FM gk and the Jackets are down one with less than three minutes to play.
Riverside looks to kill off the game ... Final -- Fort Mill 3:4 Riverside ... great match!
how many times a day do you say "ah"?
