Jimtown-NorthWood 0-11 (0-2), Kyle Cripe Hero of the day

FIRST HALF -Lousy start in just about everything you can think of. No atmosphere -on the wrong type of football field- that can not even be used by the Jimmies themselves until the Football team is done being talked to by their coaches. Inspirational speech no doubt. The Jimtown GK is clad in an outfit the Indiana Department of Transportation would be proud of.

Sharpe Stadium/Knepp Field is our second turf combo field, this time black lines mark soccer territory. To keep it short, the first half can be summed up in a couple of words; below par in just about every way. The only moments worth mentioning are the 32nd minute Nick Lechlitner cross to Andre who with a side bike scores a very pretty 0-1 and the second goal. A couple of handballs are ignored, something we have become accustomed to. In the 38th, Seba gets leveled from behind and again no whistle. This crew matches the standard of most that we have seen of late. They are simply clueless and when you do not call fouls, the game will eventually be out of control. A pass from Joey Eshelman from the middle of the pitch and about 40 out finds Sebastian Guillen who effortlessly slips the ball past the Jimmies stopper, 0-2. HALF TIME - Not pretty and let's keep it with that. SECOND HALF - More effort is expected and forthcoming. Nothing but scoring in the scond part today, finally. This Jimtown team is in its second year so it will take time to develop a soccer program at a football school (speaking from experience here). 41" - Chan assist, Andre goal , 0-3. 43" - Andre assist, Sebastian goal, 0-4. 50" - Andre assist, Nick goal, 0-5. 57"- Kayden gets pushed, shoving ensues. Jimtown mouthy player sent off (2 yellows/red not sure how it is actually recorded, pretty sure the ref himself had no clue), Andre yellow caution for pushing. 63"- Joel assist, Marshall Beebe goal, 0-6. 64" - Joel wipes out on the track. 65" Greenlee assist, Kayden goal, 0-7. 71" - Sebastian assist (?), GK mishit for an own goal, 0-8. Also 71" - Joel unassisted, 0-9/ Super sub Kyle Cripe finishes out the game on two Seba assists and scores the two final goals of the game. Dutch Touch Player of the Game - Kyle Cripe (pictured below after his brace performance)

NOTES - JV wins first game vs. Plymouth in a PK shootout and loses to Goshen in the finals in a PK shootout, by far the JV's best performance at the JV Invite! Monday we are at the turf field to start our preparation for the two Mishawaka teams we will face next week.
