I didn't realize Wando was less than 100% last night. Were they missing someone or did someone play injured?
If the scores posted are correct there were two upsets in 4A last night, Dorman over Spartanburg and Irmo over Dutch Fork. Both games decided by a one goal differential. Summaries of the games would be welcomed.
The West Ashley v Wando game was exciting to watch. Wando proved more aggressive in the first 20 minutes of the game, dominating in the midfield and playing much of this time in front of the WA goal. This was punctuated by 3 or 4 hard West Ashley break aways which were beautifully defended by the Wando goalie. Lexus Brothers scored the first WA goal from about 25yards out on a long rainbow off the goalie's upstretched hand. Wando answered with 4 minutes left in the half with a hard low shot from Naramore that was deflected sightly by the charging WA goalie (Alicia Brothers). 1 - 1 at the half. Two minutes into the second half WA forward Julie Bolt penetrated in close quarters past defenders deep into the right side of the Wando box and scored with a shot that struck the left post and deflected in. Danielle Jordan scored the final goal on a crossing shot from Bolt with about 15 minutes left. With a 3 - 1 lead, Jordan then moved back to sweeper.
Wando's passing and midfield control were very good. West Ashley's defense improved and became more dogged as the game progressed. WA's speed up top was a major factor in the game.
