ALLENDALE HIGH SCHOOL: 0.00
The boys varsity soccer team had a big week this week and looked to stay undefeated as they headed into Saturday against a very talented and well coached Allendale team. An early pre season scrimmage saw the Falcons walk away with a 7-5 win. The Dux looked to avenge that outing. The game began pretty evenly with both teams looked to control possession early. The Dux maintained a very strong stance defensively as Allendale looked to try and split seams and find runners. The Dux continued to answer the call as they began to frustrate the Allendale attack. We knew that Allendale is great in the air and really tried to keep them out of free kick situations that would allow them to utilize that strength. The Dux offered 2 quality scoring opportunities for themselves in the 1st half but could not find the target. The half ended tied at 0's. The 2nd half the Dux stepped up their offensive attack and began putting more pressure on the Falcon defense. Their best opportunity of the day came from Micah Henry as he found a through to his feet, he cut inside to near post and hit a beautiful outside of the right foot shot that hit the post. It followed back him but he could not put it away. The Falcons almost got on the board on a rebound from a Lucas Smith save that went just wide. Lucas was outstanding again in net as he continued his stellar goalkeeping. Along with the Dux defense the team has only allowed 2 goals this season. The team continues to get better and their hard work is paying off. We went toe to toe with a very good team today and shut them out. We had opportunities that alot of times we finish. The game ended 0-0 and the Dux remain undefeated on the season. This group of guys is really geling as a team and really work hard to be better every day. The tough road continues as the Dux welcome the Dutch of Holland High at home on Tuesday, followed by Muskegon home on Thursday and the Tiger tournament in Allegan Saturday.
