Remember:

Thursday practice this week: On Thursday May 3rd - ALL players will attend the Glendale High School girls soccer game. This game will be played at the Cooper #2 field. This field is located next to the Stadium field on Pythian street, East of the North fields where we play Middle School games. We will meet at 5:30 in the parking lot at the entrance to the stadium field and walk up to the field together. We should catch part of the JV game and all of the Varsity game.

There is an admission fee of $3.00. If you have an athletic participation card, please bring it to the game and your admission is free.  We ask that all players bring what they can toward the price of the admission fee. If this fee poses a financial hardship for you, please try to bring a minimum of $1.50.

The team is attending this game as PRACTICE. We will use it as a learning tool for the girls. Bruce and I will take attendance and make note of the players that do NOT attend. As usual – if you have Club practice or another pre-scheduled activity then go to that.

PLEASE WATCH FOR CHANGES DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS!

Go Lady Generals!

Please note – from now until the end of the season – JV teams will now have practice twice a week. JV will practice on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:15 – 7:00 both nights. Both practices are mandatory unless you have a pre-scheduled conflict! Choosing not to show “just because..” WILL result in less play time during the games. SWING PLAYERS – may miss Monday practices due to games! 

 If you have a valid reason to miss practice, you must let Coach Bruce know in advance. Phone #417-761-9092.

VARSITY (and SWING) - This week only (tonight 4/19), I can not be at practice and plan to have an extra practice on Sunday 4/22. Practice will be from 6-7:30 at Pershing. PLEASE MAKE THIS PRACTICE!! We need to review a few things before our re-match with Nixa on Monday night.

GO LADY GENERALS

Varsity came off with a victory this week against Ozark. The girls played together as a team and used the skills that I know they have to pass the ball and move it down field. All were taking shots from the top of the box with more accuracy. Final score 4-0. Good job girls! Let’s get pumped for the re-match with Nixa on Monday and show them how you all REALLY play.

The JV teams played hard, but both came away with losses. Although we saw some good ball movement and teamwork, there were several things that we have worked on in practice that players seemed to have  forgotten. Both teams are better than the final scores showed, so plan to be at practice on Thursday and plan to work hard!

The JV teams will have an additional practice on Monday the 16th at 5:15 to 7:00 pm at Pershing. Swing players are to skip practice and go to the Varsity game.

Bruce is planning to go to the Varsity game after practice and has room for a few players to ride with him. If you are interested in going to the Varsity game after practice, please contact Bruce and let him know.

The Varisty Lady Generals came out strong against our rival Cherokee. Ball handling was good and we had the ball at their end of the field. Unfortunately, Cherokee was able to score first, second and third. After that, you could see the players had their heads down. We started the second half optomistic, but could not finish. Although we did finally score a goal, it was not enough and Cherokee came out on top.

The JV Red and JV Black teams were scheduled to play each other. These games are always fun. The girls fight hard against each other and get physical on the field. (something we would like to see in ALL games). Both teams worked hard, but the end result was Pershing Red coming out with the win.

Practice Thursday at Pershing from 5:30 to 7:00.

Go Lady Generals!

Varsity vs Cherokee – Monday April 9th at 7:30 Field 14

JV Black vs JV Red  – Tuesday April 10th at 7:30 Field 13

The Varsity Lady Generals claimed victory over Ozark Monday night. Players worked together as a team, used the field and set up several shots resulting in a 6-3 win. Goals were scored by Kristin Knetzer (4), Alyse Weaver (1) and Mary Hannah Miller (1).

The JV Black Lady Generals fell to Willard 1-5. Kat Jackson had her first goal of the season! Congrats Kat. The team showed good ball movement and set up several opportunities but came up empty.

The JV Red Lady Generals fell to Nixa 0-5 in a game that was called at half due to lightning. Although the players did have some offensive runs, the Nixa defense was a tough line to penetrate. With a second half of play lost, the result may have been different with more time to play.

Practice Thursday night at Pershing from 5:30-7:00. All players need to try and attend.

Go Lady Generals!
