The Red Devils have more wins than losses for the first time this season...a feat to be proud of! I'm going to sound like a broken record before too long because yet again our boys were tremendous on the defensive end and lacking on the offensive end. Chaminade held the Patriots to 3 goals and forced 23 turnovers, a season high. This was done through a press-no-foul defense on the perimeter and tenacious fronting of the 2M. In addition, the Red Devils recognized out of position Patriots and crashed the 2M on hole passes from the top when an opportunity arose.
On the offensive end, the Red Devils tied a season high in goals with 9, but shot less than 50% as Parkway South's Jim Bowers stopped 12 shots. Jim played very well, but our boys rushed a lot of shots, took too many outside shots and didn't force Jim to move across the goal-mouth with cross-goal passes. We still are working through the post-Spring Break rustiness, but at least the effort is there. The greatest thing we have going for us is our intensity level...we just need it to be more structured.
Things that went right:
- 2M defense
- Defensive awareness leading to a season high in steals
- Patience on Offense
- 6-on-5 Offense (0 for 2)
Assists: Stabler - 4, Kubik - 2, Hoette - 1, Meara - 1, Watkins - 1
Steals: Stabler - 6, Duncan - 4, Kubik - 3, Arnold - 1, Fernandez - 2, Watkins - 2, Benage - 1, Entwistle -1, Faust - 1, Hoette -1
Kickouts: Kubik - 2, Duncan - 1
Saves: Stabler - 4
Player of the Game: Arnold - 2 goals on 3 shots, 2 steals and persistence on offense to recover two rebounds for goals
