10-22-11 – Kentlake Falcons

No matter what, Tahoma JV girls’ soccer team always seems to find a way to win. The girls played the Kentlake Falcons on Saturday, October 22, 2011, their last and final Saturday game. The rain and wind played a big issue throughout this game. But this did not stop the bears from bringing home the win, 5-0.

Rachel Duty, #4 made an amazing goal at 9:15 in the first half in which she made the goal that sent her flying. But she wasn’t ready to stop playing; it was merely pumping her up. With cold hands and numb legs, the girls kept fighting. Maddie Smith, #15 showed off some moves when she turned toward center field, and made an incredible fake spin back toward the back left side and scored at 39:29 in the second half, leaving the falcons clueless. Bailey Martonik, #7 showed power as she scored while rushing the defense at 23:02 left in the match. Renee Hancock, #2 showed the same power when she rushed the left side defense to score later on the match with 22:08 left on the clock. Every girl participated in scoring. This shows how much the team varies in skill.

The Lady Bears played their last home game of the season, on Tuesday, October 25, 2011. JV at 5:30, and Varsity at 7:30. The girls played the fast and furious Thomas Jefferson Raiders. As the season slowly comes to a close, all we can do is watch, and hope the girls continue to keep the title of being undefeated.
