Varsity Soccer Game vs. Zion Christian

On Friday, September 21, The Calvary Christian Schools’ Varsity soccer team played Zion Christian School at Zion’s field. Calvary won 4-2 ending in a good game. Drew Maine scored all four of Calvary’s goals. The first goal was a goal off of a corner kick by Drew. The second goal was another goal that was kicked in after Drew threw the ball in from out-of-bounds. The third goal came from a penalty kick that Drew took. Our final goal was a good shot that bounced off of the keeper and into the net. Zion’s goals came from two well-placed shots by Zion’s striker.

            Michael Warren, the goal keeper for Calvary Christian, got a yellow card in the last 15 minutes of the game. The call was a charging foul. Michael was trying to protect himself as a striker charged at him to win the ball. The striker, being half the size of Michael, hit Mike and went flying. Mike got a yellow card and had to sit out of the game for 10 minutes. Mr. Maine put Carson Burgess in goal for Calvary Christian. Carson had never played goalie before, but played his best.

            Joel Fullmer and Ililo Payton both played injured in this game. Earlier in the week during practice both players went up to win a header and hit heads. Ililo got the least injured and only came out with a bump on the head. Joel however wasn’t so lucky--he ended up in the Urgent Care Center’s procedure room and came out with six stitches in his forehead. However, both Joel and Ililo played in the game as if nothing happened. The only difference was neither player was allowed to head the soccer ball.

            Calvary played a great game and it showed in the end. Their record is currently 3 wins and 6 losses.
