The four team boys’ soccer sectional involving MontgomeryCounty schools has a familiar look. For
the third straight year, Crawfordsville and North
Montgomery are scheduled for a first round showdown. This comes on
the heels of a 1-0 Crawfordsville victory in the regular season match a little
over a week ago.Southmont would appear to have drawn a break with the pairings.
The Mounties will take on North Putnam. The Mounties destroyed the Cougars in
an early season match; 13-0Motivation will surely be on the side of the
Chargers in their battle with the Athenians. Crawfordsville has won the first
round battles each of the last two seasons.
Frankfort’s
highly regarded team will head into action in the Lafayette Sectional. The Hot
Dogs drew Lafayette Central Catholic in the first round. If they defeat the
nights, a likely second round match with McCutcheon awaits.
If it wasn’t for bad luck, the Lebanon team would have no luck at
all. The Tigers fall into the sectional at powerful Zionsville and immediately
drew the hosts in the first round. Western Boone will face University in the
other half of the bracket. The bad luck didn’t stop with Lebanon.
Tri-West drew the hosts at Brownsburg and Danville
did likewise at Avon.
The Lebanon Tigers put an exclamation point on what has been
a great season by capturing the Crawfordsville sectional on Saturday. The
Tigers carded a team total of 369, nine strokes better than runner-up
Crawfordsville. Western Boone also advanced to regional competition by
finishing third with a 383 total.
Crawfordsville’ Stormy Slaton took individual honors with a
74. Mattie Lindner of Lebanon
was next on the scoring list with a 79. Here is a list of the entire team
scoreboard.

Frankfort continued to show
major improvement over last season with a 4-1 Sagamore Conference win over North Montgomery Thursday evening. The victory moves the
Hot Dogs to 7-4 overall and 2-1 in league play. It leaves them with a very good
chance of bettering last season’s 3-4 mark in the Sagamore.
On this night, it was a one woman show for Frankfort. Chelsea Gerald scored all four Hot
Dog goals in the contest. The performance marked a career beat for Gerald.
It is beginning to look like October 10th is going
to be D-Day in the Sagamore Conference. That is the night that Crawfordsville
will travel to North Montgomery. Those two
squads seized early control of the league race Friday night. Still, Danville and Tri-West may
yet have something to say about determining the conference champion.
Here is a look at Friday night’s action.
The big game of the evening was at Tri-West where the
unbeaten Bruins tangled with North Montgomery which
had also yet to taste defeat. The Chargers relentless ground attack and a case
of fumbleitis on the part of Tri-West led to a relatively easy 44-21 win for
the visitors from Montgomery County.
Danville
stayed in contention by dumping Southmont 37-21. The victory leaves the
Warriors 2-1 in league play with dates still remaining versus both Tri-West and North Montgomery. The Mounties drop to 0-2 in
league play.
For the second week in a row, Crawfordsville escaped a close
contest. This time it was a 27-20 win over hard luck Western Boone. The victory
gives the Athenians the outright lead in the conference race at 3-0. However,
they not only still have North Montgomery on
the schedule, they also are yet to play Tri-West.
Lebanon
broke into the win column with a 17-6 victory over Frankfort. Don’t count the Tigers out. Their
murderous pre-conference schedule prepares them well for the rigors of Sagamore
action.
Things played out to form Tuesday in the Frankfort-Lebanon
boys soccer game. Frankfort continued to show
the improvement many in the conference are talking about, and Lebanon
continued to have trouble scoring. The end result was a 3-0 Hot Dog victory.
As has often been the case this season, Lebanon had
trouble early in the game generating any scoring opportunities. The vast
majority of the first half was played in front of the Lebanon goal.
The Tigers defense played valiantly, but eventually cracked with about eight minutes
remaining in the opening period. Frankfort’s
Gabriel Mora scored the Hot Dogs initial goal. The score would remain 1-0 until
halftime.
In the second half, Lebanon succeeded in creating a few
more opportunities. However, they could not cash in and a goal by Dustin
Rutledge midway through the half ended any speculation about the outcome.
