NorthWood- #13 (1A) Bethany Christian 5-4 (2-2)

On a nice fall night, NW plays its final game in the 24 history of the program at Nappanee Elementary. A large crowd enjoys the large group of seniors being honored before game time. And then it really starts. What a game! The high tempo game has a high entertainment value and draws the crowd's support throughout the night. A great game to end games at the first and only game field the Panthers have known. Here is the score line; 4" Bethany Chrstian #8 Brenneman 0-1, 12" 0-2 BC #8 Brenneman (yes this is becoming the BC theme for the night), 28" 1-2 Lukas Aukerman's dazzling dribble thru the box and defense to score unassisted), 33" 2-2, Andre de Freitas (Parker shot deflection/assist), 35" almost goal by Duerksen but he SKylers it over, 46" Parker assist to Sebastian goal 3-2, 51" 4-2 Sebastian, 55" BC #8 4-3, 63" Landon Parker assist to Sebastian 5-3, 65" BC #8 5-4. With a thrilling final 15 minutes to go, the Panthers close out this exciting match to go 7-7-2 on the regular season. This great week (one draw and two wins) with very good results keeps the momentum going into the post season. Next up, Monday at Angola vs. Lakeland in the first round of sectionals. The JV wins their match against The Bruins (1-0) to finish the season with 4 wins. Great job by both teams tonight. Our next home game will be on the new field!
