COACH DUERKSEN ON THE SIDELINES DURING THE SEASON'S HOME OPENER.Class 3A #10 vs Class 2A #10 starts late due to weather and kicks off after a shortened JV contest (1-1 with two OG's). It turns out to be the Chappell show. NR #5 Cam Chappell scores a hat trick using his speed and accurate shooting ability. His first threatening run at the NW goal comes a minute before half time as he speeds by Cam and Nick and chips the ball over Graber. He adds another one in the 57th and one in the 59th to make it 0-3. NorthWood does not threaten enough offensively and only makes the NR keeper make a couple of saves on the night. Overall, we do not play poorly, we are somewhat disconnected between the three lines and even disconnected offensively at times. The heart of our defense performs well; the communication between Chase and Nick is very good. Graber makes a couple of unbelievable cat like saves and we are able to use a lot of our substitutes who all do exaclty what is asked of them. All in all, not the start we wanted but there are a lot of positives we can take away from the game. Friday will be a short light field practice followed by a video session. Next up is the away game at Concord on Saturday. The bus leaves at 9 am and the JV game kicks off at 10, followed around 11:45 by the Varsity match.
