PQ Rec BU8 Week #8: Creeper Season!!!

There were 2 games that looked good leading into the week.  Both games held up to the hype, making for another great day on the pitch.

#3 Fireballs def Slime Ballz 6-0

Fireballs continued a strong season with goals from Branden, Connor, Ethan, Jimmy, and Patrick.  More impressive than the string of goals, is the Fireballs defensive stance with only 4 goals allowed on them all season long.  The next best defense has allowed more than twice that at 10.

The Fireballs moved back into 2nd-place and face a formidable 4-win White Fire team next week.

#4 Creepers crept up on the #2 Red Vipers in a tense 2-0 battle

This game really showed how tough the league is getting as we are just 3 weeks away from the PQ Cup.  Trey, for the Creepers, put in an early goal to put the pressure on the Vipers early.  And the battle was on!  


Both teams moved the ball up the field and created lots of opportunities.  Until, the Creepers broke for a 2nd goal and held the Vipers scoreless for a 2-0 shutout.  

It was a big win for the Creepers!  Coach Sandoval was quick to congratulate his players and their individual and collective effort.  It was a fun game to watch.  


Blue Devils Corner the Galaxy, Force Galaxy to Face Their Demons

Galaxy def Blue Devil 2-1

This game was pegged as a potentially good match-up.  The Blue Devils came out and put the Galaxy on their heels just 10 minutes into the first half.  The Blue Devils had the Galaxy in check all the way through the 2nd-half water break.

PQ Rec BU8 Week #7

Galaxy (#1) tie Fireballs (#2) 2-2

Big match-up between the top-ranked teams and both teams played in top form.

Fireballs hit the field in warrior paint, supported by a sideline full of orange and the "Fireball" anthem blaring behind them.


Connor (Fireballs) going against Dylan, Trevor, and Edan

Dylan is unshakable.  He didn't even look to the sideline, just got up and back into the mix.  These boys were playing HARD!!!

The Skinny

Fireballs def. Sea Serpents 6-0
Galaxy def. Creepers 1-0
Red Vipers def. Blue Devils 3-1
White Fire def. Slime Ballz 5-0

Game #1: Fireballs def. Sea Serpents 6-0

The Fireballs once again prove their ability to put points on the board.  This time with six goals, by six different players!  Tanner and Jimmy scored their first goals of the season and Branden launched one from outside the box, up and over EVERYBODY!  It was the biggest, baddest, longest goal I've seen all season. Well done, Branden! 

Ethan had a goal and a sweet assist to setup Jimmy's goal.  Patrick and Zach accounted for the other 2 goals for the Fireballs.  Zach has six for the season, positioning him among the top scorers in the league.

Ethan congratulating Tanner for scoring his first goal of the season!
