Homecoming Pep Ralley

Pep Rally was tonight for homecoming.  The Reapers were introduced to the school and competed in a few competitions.  Cacho won the "Mr. Cool" contest by downing several freeze pops like it was water.  Below is a picture of the team pyramid that they had to build.

Regional Match Up Announced!!

The IHSA announced all regional matchups on Saturday.  The Reapers are matched up against Newark High School.  This is very exciting for us because we know that we can beat Newark and launch us into the second round of the playoffs.  In addition, this will be Plano's first time ever hosting a regional game.  We love playing on our field and to play a regional match at home will be great!  Hopefully we can get a large crowd to come out and watch us battle the Norsemen.  The match is set for Friday, October 7 at 4:00pm.  Make sure to come and support the Reapers!!!

Tough Times Against Peotone

Last night's match against top ranked Peotone was difficult to say the least.  There were many things playing against us last night.  Many players are nursing injuries from getting banged up from a long game schedule this week.  We also had very poor officiating, the worst we've seen this season.  This made it difficult for us since we were in constant conflict with the refs.  However, despite the excuses, we did not play well as a unit.  The guys would admit that this was not their best showing and that we are a much better team than what we should Peotone.  We still have several games left in the season, and many more chances still to improve our win record.  Time to learn, move on and keep improving.

Reapers Dominate Wilmington!!

Tonight the Reapers played in front of a big home crowd and won a commanding victory against Wilmington.  The match started out a big rough and unorganized, but once we found our rhythm there was no stopping us.  Six goals were scored in the first half, with another two in the second half.  It was good to see us be able to expose their weakness and capitalize on it.  Moy Villa set a new school record of 16 goals in a single season by scoring three goals in tonight's match.  This was a high energy game and we are proud of the team.  The Reapers current record is 8-5-1.

Tough Loss Against ACC

Last night the Reapers battled ACC in a game under the lights.  It was the Reapers that scored first with a corner kick by Moy Villa and Petey Hoti putting it in the net.  We seemed to dominate the entire game, but unfortunately we had too many little mistakes that ended up putting us behind and unable to catch up.  Despite the loss, we did play a very solid game, and I believe we can beat ACC if we are matched up against them in the regional pairings.  Time to pick our heads up and earn a victory against Wilmington.

Reapers Topple Yorkville - Set New School Record of 7 Wins!!

This was a simply outstanding match for us today.  It was nice to be able to play at home where we feel more comfortable.  After a good team dinner last night, our squad was ready to play.  We were behind at the half, but our guys came back.  We were fighting for a school record of 7 wins.  Today we were able to get that lucky number 7 win.  Our defense played very well, catching Yorkville offsides many time.  Omar Barraza had a big game for us in the goal, making some crucial saves that kept us in the game. Edgar also had a great service on a fee kick to get us the first goal.   Moy and Adrian Cervantes both had great outside looks at the net on offense and were able to deliver for the second and third goals. Great Game everyone!!

Victory Over Sandwich! Reapers Record 6-4-1

Tonight we faced our conference rivals, the Sandwich Indians, for their homecoming match.  There was a lot of energy leading up this game, and it is a game we have been talking about all season.  We had some rough spots in the game, and it wasn't our best performance but we still got the win!!  The Defense was solid and Goalie Omar Barraza recorded his 5th shutout of the season.  Moy Villa scored 3 goals in the game, giving him a total of 12 goals on the season.  Both Petey Hoti and Adrian Cervantes picked up assists on the Villa goal.  The Italian Wonder, Francesco, also scored on a penalty kick.

The Reaper JV also racked up another win against Sandwich tonight!  James Ohara and Wambugu Wambugu both scored goals for the reapers giving the a 2-1 win.  Luis Rodriguez assisted the Ohara goal.  The JV played very well and moved the ball well around the field, not giving the Indians many chances on the ball.

Great game everyone!!

Herscher: Tough Game But Well Played. Reapers 5-4-1

Yesterday's match against Herscher was a hard fought match for us.  Overall I would say this was a very positive game for us.  We knew coming into this match that Herscher was at the top of the conference.  We played very well.  We did let up two goals in the first half, in the last 8 minutes of the half.  Those goals were silly mistakes on our part.  Their 3rd goal came early in the second half from a penalty kick.  We never knew who the foul was on or what the penalty was, but sometimes you just are unlucky.  After that, we played Herscher to an equal possession game.  It was very impressive to see us be able to play stride for stride with this team.  I think it is a testament to our team and the progress that we have made this season.  We are now looking on towards Thursday where we will face Sandwich.  This is a big game for us and we want to be able to win big!!

Big Win Against Westmont!! Reapers Move to 5-3-1

The Reapers came up with a impressive victory against Westmont last night at home.  The Reapers scored 5 goals, 1 in the first and four in the second half of the game.  Our play was very quick yet controlled.  It was good to see the team be intentional about their play and about scoring goals.  This is the third consecutive win for the Reapers as well as the third consecutive shutout, setting a new school record.

Goals were scored by  Adrian Cervantes (2), Adrian Herrera, Petey Hoti, and David Hill.  Luis Rodriguez, Moy Villa, Adrian Cervantes and Petey Hoti all earned assists.
