Junior Blues v. Mount Hermon Wolves

Playing in front of their largest crowd of the season, the Junior Blues played a well-coached and determined Mount Hermon Wolves team from Northfield MA. Clearly this was the most competitive game of the season for the Junior Blue team who were missing Will Eiamsakulrat. Jordi De La Torre moved out of goal to play a strong center midfield position. Jordi along with Charlie Kenyon and Peter Villani were key in keeping the Blues in the game early, as it was a slow start for the young Eagles. Fortunately Matt Gardner found the back of the net before the Wolves did to provide a little momentum for Eaglebrook. Just before the whistle blew to end the first half Zach Davis was able to cross the plane of the goal with a nice shot to put Eaglebrook up by 2 goals. Jack and Connor Theriault were outstanding in the backfield. Both boys had perhaps their best game of the year. Pat Rungsrithong played a splendid game by taking charge at several key moments of the game. Alex Choi had a nice afternoon on the field playing well at the fullback spot. Kojo Aduhene held the Wolves scoreless until the 55-minute mark of the game when the Wolves were able to place a nice shot by Kojo that was impossible to save. Jay Douglas played a strong second half causing fits for the defensive backs of Mount Hrermon. Pablo Sanchez was his steady self throughout the contest playing in front of his family. Angel Mieres sealed the ninth win for the Blues by scoring the third goal on the day for a tired but enthusiastic Junior Blue team that for, the third time this season played two games back to back in 24 hours. The team has some well deserved time off to connect with parents and friends at home the next couple of days but will be back in action on Friday, October 25 against Athol Middle School. Game time is set for 3:30 pm on Uppvall Field.
