FINAL BLOG :Season Over; NW loses to West Noble in Sectional first round

The Panthers look sluggish and not as energized as they have throughout most of the season. Our passing is off and not very crisp. Not sure if nerves or pressure play a role but it does not seem we play our style tonight. The half time score is 0-0 and the Chargers receive a red card in the first half. Arbitration is not very good and certainly not consistent but not to blame for the loss. After trying to make some adjustments at the half, it is West Noble who scores first in the 43rd even though being down to 10 men. An Andre to Kayden pass ends in a nice slotted ball into the net by Kayden (54"), 1-1. Momentum again switches after Nick fouls WN # 9 Torres (who also scored their first goal). West Noble scores the PK in the 60th and despite some late game pressure, we do not score. We have chances all the way up to 12 ticks left on the game clock but the ball does not find the net and therefore this record breaking season comes to an early and abrupt end. The Panthers finish the season 13-3-1 with great senior leadership from Trent Edwards, Skyler Duerksen, Jerson Sanchez, Angel Pantoja and Jason Weldy.
