Pulling Out a Tough Win Against Reed Custer.

The Reapers were able to win their last conference game of the season last night against Reed Custer.  The night had some troubles from the beginning with bus problems on the way to the game.  And perhaps this picture symbolizes the type of game we had.  While expecting to win this match, we quickly found ourselves in a hole, down by two goals early.  We then had to play catch up.  Adrian Cervantes had a great shot for our first goal and Moy Villa tied things up with a nice free kick right before the end of the first half.  The second half proved that we were the stronger team as we dominated possession but could not get the ball to fall in the net.  Finally, after one overtime and part way through the second, Petey Hoti received a nice through pass from Adrian Herrera from which Petey placed the ball in the upper corner netting winning the game.  Felt good to get the win, and it was nice to see that despite the mistakes early, the Reapers can come from behind to win.

Come Back Tie Against Depue.

Last night the Reapers hosted Depue.  Last season we lost to Depue 0-5, and were hoping we would have a different result this go around.  Depue was a skilled team, but we found flaws in their defense which lead to scoring opportunities.  The first have of play was good for us, and David Hill scored off of a cross from Cesar Montiel.  The second half found us making some mistakes and having a hard time developing a flow on the field.  Omar Barraza had some excellent saves, keeping us in the game.  Also, Alex Struck came up with a huge save of his own, throwing his body in front of the goal on a shot.  We were able to tie things up in the last minute of play with a great free kick from Moy that went to Petey and ultimately Francesco with the score. 

Tonight the Reapers travel to Reed Custer to play an evening game for our last conference match of the season.

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.
