The 2nd half of the game saw Sam McRae get his 3rd goal of the season on a beautifully played ball from Freshman Daniel Jones. Jones was also instrumental on another great pass from deep in the left corner that Sophomore Spence Butler put in the back of the net to record his first goal of the season. Senior Collin Woodrum led another spectacular performance from the Cougar defense and DeAndre Rogers played his best game so far of the season at the keeper position. For those who don't know this is DeAndre's first time ever playing keeper and for just having 4 games under his belt he is playing far above his experience level. The 2nd half saw several other chances for Freshman Blake Rykard and Jackson McConnell to score; they will get one before the season is over!
Things got a little chippy in the 2nd half as well and #9 from Open Bible received a yellow card. Other than this infraction the game was played very clean and was well officiated. As the coach I can't be more proud of the team's progress at this point. Obviously this looks like a rebuilding year for Open Bible. We will face a much tougher test on Friday against the East Hill Eagles in Pensacola.
A special thanks to everyone who brought water, volunteered to help at the field, and to our assistant head coach Hector Bautista for all of his hard work. He is the key reason why DeAndre is playing so well at keeper.
