CONCORD-NORTHWOOD 1-1 (1-1)

FIRST HALF-The scoring starts and ends early today; Concord scores in the 10th minute (#17 Castillo) and three minutes later, Sebastian drifts into the Concord box and gets fouled, the referee decidedly points to the dot for a pk. Seba slots the penalty to his left and offers the Minuteman GK no chance to keep the ball out of the net. The game goes back and forth in a high tempo for most of the first half. In the 38th, Chan's pass goes to Concord and the counter ends near the box where a good shot gets saved by Graber. Kayden informs the coaches and the bench that he is faster than Concord's #9 but #9 waves that off. HALF TIME- Some issues are addressed, one of which is that the Concord keeper is not that good and that we need to get the ball to the forwards more and that we need to take shots. SECOND HALF- Obviously, scoring wise nothing happens in part two of the game.Graber makes a double save in the 42nd after a Minutemen free kick. Graber grabs another one when a cross comes in the box even though Chase gets in his way ("I'm backing him up" is his explanation even though he was in FRONT of Graber). The trick free kick almost goes in when a deflection assists in the ball going wide of the Concord goal.In the 55th a high ball in from Concord comes near the NW box. Chase goes up for a header but gets taken out by a Concord player. Chase hits the ground hard but after a while, gets back up. He is checked out by the AT and cleared to go back in. The Concord offender gets away with a yellow caution; he is a lucky guy (the replay we watched on Hudl shows that he either has no clue what he is doing or I am not sure what the other option is). In the 77th, Kayden NEwcomer is the first Panther recipient of a yellow card on the season. The game ends in 1-1. The Panthers are 0-1-1 on the young season with the same record in NLC. The JV game ends the way it began 0-0. NOTES - Monday's practice will be at the turf field. Next up: Lakeland at home on Tuesday at 5:30 pm (Lakeland has no JV).
