Tonight v. Parkway West

Tonight, the Red Devils will be taking on the Parkway West Longhorns at Chaminade. The JV game will begin at 7PM, followed by the varsity game around 8PM.

The Longhorns varsity and JV both have some kids who played for me at Jungle Cats. On JV, we need to pay attention to sophomore Matt Stolwyk who was a coaching favorite last summer and over the winter. Matt came to nearly every practice, worked extremely hard and was very coachable...just like...our boys...

The varsity has a few guys to watch out for, such as senior and former Jungle Cat John Logan who leads the team in goals. Former Cats Adam Bixler and Alex Dwyer are also in their top 5 in scoring. Our boys who play Daisy will recognize freshman Steven Emde who is second in goals and assists. Their starters are solid and they have played well against Kirkwood, Parkway Central, Parkway North and Marquette (teams that have either beat us, played close to us, or may beat us in the future). They should not be overlooked as my JCWP colleague and friend Charlie Cutelli is a good coach who knows how to game plan for a team that plays like we do. Coach Cutelli is in his third year at West and this will be the first time we have gone head-to-head in our careers. I am excited for tonight.
