SSL O-30 & O-40 RESULTS

 

O-40 LOSES TOUGH 2-1 MATCH TO MADDOX

0-30 TIES COBRAS

The O-40 match pitted old rivals against one another for the umteenth time. But, what has become the customary, and unfortunate, outcome for the SSL side, Maddox won yet another match, abeit a thriller, 2-1. SSL has lost 7 straight to Maddox, last winning 7-6 on November 18th. It looks as if these two will match up in yet another final with SSL hoping to change its luck & secure both a win & a championship.

In this past Tuesdays match, defense was the rule of the game. Neither team was giving the other much space & shots were scarce. But Maddox, as they have a tendancy to do, kept chipping away til they managed a couple first half tallys on less than brilliant opportunities. But goals are goals & they made them stand up, yielding only a single tally to SSL defender Mike Hartsook late in the game, resulting in the final 2-1 score.

Now SSL has one more league match this Tuesday @ 7:35 vs the winless Vetta Blue side. Should SSL take care of business in this match, they'll once again find themselves pitted against Maddox in the championship finals. It would certainly be refreshing to come away with a win & finally get that Maddox monkey off their back & bring home a championship, all in the same game. Hope to see you Tuesday.

The SSL O-30 side found themselves in a tough one last Thursday vs the Cobras. In what has become a fairly forgettable session, SSL finds themselves without a berth in the finals for the first time in the last 9 sessions. During this 8 session run on the championship they were victorius 5 of those times. Quite a remarkable record. But this session, well, it's certainly not one for the record books.

Facing the Cobra's for the second time this session, SSL was trying to avenge a 4-3 loss to them in the first game on 4/9. They would find that difficult. Following a scoreless first half, with each team playing great defense, SSL was to break the ice first in the 2nd with a goal early in the half by the always hustling Mike Hogan.

Working hard in the offensive corner, Hoags gathered the ball, battled his way to the front of the goal & having his first & second shots turned back, stayed on top of the play, finally finishing on his third attempt, putting SSL up 1-0. The lead would be short-lived.

On a dead-ball just outside the SSL box, one of the Cobra forwards lazered a shot past the wall & into the upper 90. Keeper David Shelton had no chance. Score tied 1-1.

SSL continued to play well both defensively & offensively, but had little to show for their offensive efforts. On a play in which the Cobra keeper was in a foot race to the ball with Sladan Kurtovic, Kurtovic won that race, collected the ball & calmly lifted a looping shot over the keeper, rushing back to his spot in the goal, & the other Cobra defenders, to notch his first goal of the evening with his well-timed shot. That gave the lead back to SSL 2-1. But, try as they might, they couldn't hold it.

Late in the 2nd half, the Cobra's tied the match at 2 & that's how it ended. As a result of the tie, the Cobra's were eliminated from the championship match, instead sending Freaky Shakra to play Sinclair & Rush, whom SSL defeated in last sessions championship 6-0.

So now it's time to rebuild & re-set for the upcoming session. It looks like the entire roster will return & there may even be a new addition. The thing that hurt this sessions efforts was, in spite a carrying 13 on the roster, many of those players missed a lot of games. Edin Coralic was hurt the first shift of the first game. Michael Poropat missed the entire session with a nagging foot injury, Jayson Adelsberger & David Hipperson each missed due to work obligations & there were a number of players missing from a handful of games, & that's a recipe for a poor session. It certainly was that.

But, now with that session behind them & preparing for the new session, SSL is in hope of righting the ship & securing yet another spot in the championship final. So, stay tuned. Thanks for reading.

Stats & standings for both teams follow.

SSL O-40, 12, VETTA BLUE 3

 

O-40 POSITION THEMSELVES FOR STRETCH RUN

WIN GOING AWAY

Well, sometimes it does pay to be a little tardy. Johnny Pens, who is notorius for doing a Marvin Barnes imitation, the former Sprits of St. Louis basketball team all-star center, & whose favorite saying was "game time is on time". Well as usual, Pens was a bit tardy. But, as soon as Tim Kelley subbed off, Pens was on, made a run, collected a through ball & finished by burying a rocket past the startled Vetta Blue keeper who had no chance. That put SSL up 1-0. That was just the start.

Pens continued to pour it on, collecting a total of 5 goals on the evening along with a helper as well as contributions from Steve Rankin with 2 & 2, Tim Kelley with 2 goals, Bob Janko with 1 & 1, Jim Ahearn & Joe Behr with a goal apiece & newcomer Mike Hartsook with a helper.

This match was unusual in one very large respect. There was no halftime. With the new Vetta policy of a running 45 minute clock, there was no interval & no changing ends. Strange.

Next week is a big match with huge ramifications. SSL will meet old friend Maddox @ 7:35. A win in this match would position SSL for another berth in the final. A loss, well, it would be much more difficult. So, join us for this friendly get-together. It'll be entertaining at the very least, &, if Pens is tardy, well, who knows what'll happen. See you then. Thanks for reading.

p.s. Those of you that are looking for the Louisville pictures, just need to scroll down past a couple articles for the "Louisville Experience". Enjoy!

SSL O-40, 7, VINTAGE UTD, 4

 

O-40 STRENGTHENS HOLD ON 2ND

POST WIN WITH STRONG 2ND HALF

After a see-saw first half, that saw Vintage score the tying goal with a 1:30 left, the 3-3 score at the interval was not really an accurate preview of what would take place in the 2nd.

The first half was back and forth, with both teams creating, & finishing, on multiple scoring chances. In fact, Vintage scored first, early in the half, but SSL came right back on a bomb from far outside the penalty box by Ken Brigden, to knot it at 1-1. Each team exchanged 2 more goals, resulting in the 3-3 halftime score. With Vintage playing smart defense & ball control, it looked like more of the same was on tap for the 2nd half. It didn't turn out that way.

In spite of some very physical play on both sides, the Vintage attack came up short in the 2nd, & SSL took advantage. Scoring 4 goals to Vintage's 1, SSL stretched the lead, & pulled away from the team they were tied for 2nd place in the standings with, to notch a 7-4 win, & further solidify their hold on that position.

Although Vintage scored only a single tally in the 2nd, they were creating a lot of offense, only to be snuffed out by the stifling SSL defense & sturdy goaltending. As a result of this solid defensive posture, SSL was able to create a lot of offense of their own, to which, by and large, Vintage had no answer for. After posting the win, the SSL side positioned themselves solidly in 2nd place & now control their own destiny, looking to finish either 1st or 2nd in the division, in order to assure a berth in the championship.

Next up is Vetta Blue next Tuesday @ 8:30. The last two times these teams met, Blue won the first match 6-4, & SSL the 2nd 8-4. So this match will be interesting, to say the least. Hope you can join us. See you then. Thanks for reading.

LOUISVILLE 2009

 

THE LOUISVILLE EXPERIENCE 2009

That, my friends, is tough to re-capture. A whole lot happens in 48-72 hours, with, it seems like, every minute action-packed. Upon our arrival in mid-afternoon on Friday, a few of us went out & played 9 holes of very ugly golf. That kicked off the start of the "Louisville Experience".

Most of the STL participants, of which there were many, stayed at the Holiday Inn Expo, a place we've stayed at previously. The most notable feature of the hotel is not even at the hotel. It's around the corner. It's a local one-room dive bar called Ott's Tavern, a very friendly spot that provides great southern hospitality. Anyone that travelled to Louisville from STL knows Ott's. What many people didn't know about Ott's, including your's truly, was that it was a 4am bar. Good thing we got the O-30 & O-40 matches scheduled for a Saturday afternoon start. Even that was a struggle, but, looking around, everyone made it. Save for Steve Rankin. The Chief hought our game started an hour later. We'll just blame that one on the Louisville time change.

Saturday wen't well for both the SSL O-30 & O-40 teams. Each finished with a 2-1 record, good enough for the gold medal round the following day. The girls O-30 team did well also, with their Saturday wins propelling them into the O-30 finals the next day. The STL open team, "Special Sauce", captained by Ryan & Patrick Curry, sons of O-30 player Jeannie Curry, didn't fare too well on Saturday, posting a 1-2 record. But don't be mislead. Their journey thru the Silver Medal bracket was a thing of beauty.

The SSL O-30 men won their first match convincingly versus the Indianapolis SC, overwhelming them 6-1. They stretched their record to 2-0 on Saturday with a tight 2-0 win over the local team, the Kickers. Then came the hiccup. They dropped a very tough 2-1 decision in their 3rd game of the day to an old adversary, the Dayton Rogues. Still in all, they played extremely well on Saturday & were excited about their chances in the Gold medal round on Sunday.

The SSL O-40 men didn't start as well, but had some help along the way. First game out of the box, they faced a tough, seasoned side from Ohio, Dayton United. They dropped that match 2-1, with one of the Dayton goals coming on a shot from the center off. Tough way to start a tourney. But, they bounced back with a 2-0 win of their own against the local Louisville team, the Buds. Their good fortune continued when the 3rd match for the day was a forfeit win, when a local team, the Phantoms, failed to show.

So, Sunday looked golden for the SSL O-30 womens & the O-30 & O-40 men's teams. Let the pre-celebration begin.

As the players gathered at the hotel to make arrangements for the traditional Saturday evening dinner, the talk was about the playoffs the following day. Everyone was fired up & there were few injuries to report. Everyone felt good about their chances. As the teams returned to the hotel following dinner, many gathered in the Hospitality Room, graciously provided to the SSL contingent due to so many room reservations placed by Jeannie Curry.

It was raucous. Players & hangers-on filtered into & out of the room all evening. Word was that there was a 1am curfew. Few adhered to it, in spite of the fact that several teams had 9am start times. Finally, about 3am, most had headed to their rooms to get at least a few hours sleep. They would need it.

One ot the two matches on this Sunday that captivated all who watched was the first round playoff for the O-30 men. As luck would have it, they would be facing their old friends, the Budweiser Flyers from STL. The Flyers scored first & the SSL fans felt their heart sink. But the players did nothing of the kind. They were playing fabulously & had dominated from the opening whistle, in spite of the Flyers goal.

They soon knotted up the game at 1-1, & still, they continued to dominate, creating many chances, several of which caromed off the woodwork. But still they persevered. After a 1-1 score at the interval, SSL scored early in the 2nd half to take a 2-1 lead, & still, they continued to press the attack, coming close on a couple of occasions of taking a 2 goal lead at 3-1, but, the Flyers dodged that bullet.

But a quirky thing happened on the way to the finish line. On a seemingly innocent play, after the ball caromed off & around several SSL defenders, the Flyers managed to score the tying goal with just a few minutes left in the match. Then it happened. Upon receiving a pass, a SSL player stumbled & the ball bounced right to a Flyer attacker, with nothing between him & the goal. One of the SSL defenders, rushed up & tackled the player from behind, just outside the penalty area, stopping play. Unfortunately, that resulted in a red card ejection for the SSL defender. That would loom large later.

As time ran out on this match, a 2-2 draw, it was now down to shootouts. The remaining 5 players on the field had to be the shooters. However, since SSL was a man down, the keeper had to take the shot. Long story short, after 10 rounds, (someone said is was 15), whatever, the Flyers ended winning the match in a shootout. It was a heart-breaker. There was no question as to how well the SSL side had played, but unfortunately, they came up on the short end of the stick. They'll be back for Indy. Watch out!

The Flyers then lost their next match 2-0 to the Whistle Pigs, a tourney regular. The Pigs went on to win the finals against another STL entry, Barristers, with a 4-1 score. Heart-breaking, but fun.

The O-40 team got off to a better Sunday start than the O-30 side. They won their 9am game 2-1, in spite of, shall we say, not feeling all that well. The next match, @ 10:30, was against the Whistle Pigs O-40 side. SSL dropped that match 2-1 & ended up the tourney with a 3-2 mark. The Pigs ended up losing in the finals to another STL team, Kolping. There sure were a lot of STL teams at this tourney. Seems like every year there are more. In fact, there was another STL girls team there, captained by Amy Champaine, but, I never did get their results.

"Special Sauce". Where did they ever come up with that name. Whatever! They kind of flew under the radar on Saturday, going 1-2 & qualifying for the Silver bracket. Not many took note of them that Saturday night. However, Sunday belonged to them. They steamrolled their competition, winning 4 straight matches, including a 4-1 decision in the final to capture the coveted "Louisville Baseball Caps". They dominated their competition, playing great defense & cruised into & out of, the final. Congrats to them.

So, as far as I can tell, & as I mentioned, I don't have all the stats, but a STL team won the men's O-40 & the Open men's silver bracket. Of the eight different divisions, four STL teams were in the finals. And all of the STL teams that participated in the tourney aquitted themselves well. Whether it's Indy or Louisville, when teams in those tourneys play a team from STL, they know they have their hands full. Congratulations to all. A great time & a great experience makes for great memories. See you in Indy.

SSL O-40, 5, LAMPERT, 4

 

SSL WIN 1ST HALF, LAMPERT WINS 2ND

SSL WINS GAME

What a crazy match this was. Early on, it looked as if SSL would run away with this one. But, some late arriving Lampert players would have something to say about that, & turn this match into a nail-biter.

SSL was off to a comfortable 5-0 lead, playing great defense & creating many offensive chances. This looked like a match SSL could just mail in. Then, things changed. After two goals by Ken Brigden, & one each from Steve Rankin, Jim Ahearn & Bob Janko, it looked as if SSL could put the throttle on cruise-control.

But slowly, Lampert crept back into the game, a little at a time. No one on the SSL side appeared to be alarmed, since at the half, they held a solid 5-2 lead. With the promise of more goals to come for SSL after the interval, no one looked concerned. However, 2nd half goals for SSL, as they would soon find out, were hard to come by.

As the 2nd unfolded, Lampert picked up where they left off, notching a 3rd goal, narrowing the SSL lead to 2 goals. Still, not to worry. A 2 goal lead, 2nd half, playing well, what's the problem! Well, after Lampert tallied their 4th goal, closing the lead to one goal at 5-4, they got the attention of SSL. In a furious finish, in what turned out to be a very physical game, SSL held on & posted a very difficult, 5-4 win over a stubborn, highly motivated Lampert side.

What looked early on like a cake-walk for the SSL side ultimately turned into a full-fledged, end to end, shootout. In one sense, Lampert didn't so much lose the match as much as they ran out of time. On the other hand, SSL played just well enough to win despite their inability to notch a single 2nd half goal. And, a win is a win, no matter how you come by it. SSL just confined all their scoring to the 1st half.

To be fair, SSL played very well defensively, giving up goals on a couple counters when SSL was pressing the attack, & one unfortunate turnover. But they also controlled the pace of the game as well as maintained the majority of the possession. Going into the match, Lampert was undefeated. With this win, each of these two teams have two wins & a loss for a total of 6 points. However, SSL is in 2nd place as a result of the head to head tie breaker rule, 3 points behind first place Maddox. SSL will meet Maddox later in the session & that match may well determine first place in the division.

Next up for SSL is a new entry in the division, Vintage Utd. These two will clash next Tuesday @ 9:25. Hope you can join us for the match. Thanks for reading.

SINCLAIR & RUSH, 8, SSL O-30, 2

 

UGLY, UGLY, UGLY!!!

LOSS DROPS RECORD TO 2 & 2

The last time these two teams met was in last sessions championship game. SSL posted a 6-0 shutout win to capture their 2nd straight title. Apparently S&R hadn't forgotten.

S&R came out flying, scoring the first goal quickly for an early 1-0 lead. SSL came back a few minutes later to tie the game. However, less than a minute after the SSL tally, S&R buried a rocket from outside the white line to take a 2-1 lead. For all intents & purposes, this game was over. S&R never looked back.

The S&R side marked aggressively, giving the SSL side little room on the small field #3 while at the same time, attacking on the offensive side with counters as a result of their smothering defense. SSL had no answer. Perhaps it was the Louisville tourney hangover or the small field, but SSL could never right the ship. Try as they might, they just could never muster up the offense to counter the S&R attack. As a result, the defense was porous & S&R took advantage of these opportunities.

With the loss, SSL now is forced to win each of their remaining games against formidible competition, as well as depending on others, in order to have a chance to compete in their 8th straight championship match. That, friends, is a tall hill to climb. And the road to the championship doesn't get any easier. Next week they'll face Freaky Shakra in an 11:25 tilt on field #1. Those late games are never easy. So, stay tuned. It'll be fun & interesting. Hope to see you there. Thanks for reading.
