Spruce Mt. 5, Telstar 0; Sept. 11-A strong, experienced team from Spruce Mountain defeated Telstar. The Phoenix came out scoring in the first half and kept the Rebels on defense most of the time. The Rebels defense settled down the second half and held Spruce off for the first 30 minutes, but were plagued by injuries and the Phoenix eventually got through to score a couple more goals. “This was a really tough team, but the guys never gave up. They left it all on the field. I am really proud of the sportsmanship my guys showed even though Spruce had a couple of unruly fans. They may have lost this game, but they kept their spirits up and will be ready for the next one.” Coach John Eliot

Mt. Abram 3, Telstar 1; Sept. 6- The Rebels and Roadrunners battled back and forth for the first 23 minutes of the game and then Telstar struck first on a goal from Nic Conrad. The Rebels missed a couple of more easy scoring opportunities, but went on to hold the Roadrunners until 2 minutes before the half when Mt. Abram finally put one on the board. The roadrunners came back again with 32 seconds remaining when Trevor Brackly put another one on the board for Mt. Abram and took a 2 to 1 lead at the half. Calum Dixon added to Mt. Abram’s lead shortly after the second half started, but that would be the only goal allowed in the second half. Both teams played great defense for the remainder of the game and neither were able to put the ball in the net, although Mt. Abram out shot Telstar 19 to 5 in the second half. “My guys did great, especially considering we played with only one sub the first half, and due to an injury had no subs the second half. Missing those two breakaway opportunities in the first half hurt us really bad. The game could have easily ended differently, but you could see the guys were getting tired and they left it all on the field. I am extremely proud of the sportsmanship they showed. Mt. Abram played well and really wanted the win. They are a decent team that utilized their subs wisely.” -Coach John Eliot
