Game 4 Recap

Boones 3 - Rangers 1

Another awesome turnout. Only Brady and Mucio were out.

The Rangers struck first. The Boones defense was unable to clear a cross from the Rangers. Peer said it was all Brian White's fault. The ball apparently hit his foot and rolled perfectly over to a Ranger who made a nice shot.

Boones did not give up. The game was many days so I might mess up the order of these events. A Rangers defender had a major handball in the box so we won a PK. Joel lined up the ball about 3 yards away from the goal line for the kick. After everyone got a laugh from his shenanigans he lined up the ball in the proper spot and took the kick. The Rangers keeper guesses correctly by diving to his right. He outstretched his arms and blocked Joel's shot. Tutt later found out that the Rangers keeper was none other than Jackie Moon, power forward for the Flint Tropics. No wait ... I think I got that detail wrong. Now I remember, the Rangers keeper played semi-pro soccer a few seasons ago.

Boones was able to tie things up the first half after Chris launched a ball past midfield. Dave took off after the ball and blew past their frenchy defender. Semi-pro rushed out to try to beat Dave to the ball. Dave got there about a 1/2 second before semi-pro and kicked the ball toward the goal. The ball would not have gone in the goal but Chuck was there to finish things off. 1-1. Frenchy started complaining non-stop.

We played some serious soccer in the second half. Maybe we were feeding off of the awesome home field crowd that we had. The Boones fans were screaming and yelling every time our offense made a push. Joel redeemed himself with an excellent goal to give us the 2-1 lead. Soon after that Big Dave, who must have been riding high on the Boones momentum, got a hold of one and BLASTED a LAZER BEAM shot. Semi-pro didn't even try to stop this shot. 3-1.

Our fullbacks and keeper have been playing outstanding defense all season. The halfbacks have been doing a great job helping on D as well (Tutt and D-Ray made some awesome defensive plays on Sunday). Especially kick ace has been the play of George, Preston, and Chad in the middle.

Four wins with zero ties or losses. E-L-E.
