Port Angeles Cashes In
3-1
Three 1st half goals
enough to give Roughriders the Win
April 19, 2011, Sequim Stadium
Anthony Brandon ran wild against the Wolves Tuesday with 2 goals and
assist, all in the 1st half, as the Roughriders came to Sequim and left
with the win. Brandon got 2 chances in the first 5 minutes to set
the tone for his evening as the Wolf defense was sleepy. On 10
minutes Brandon slipped a ball through to Tamarat Haskins who slammed a
shot wide. The Wolves came back with an excellent chance 2 minutes
later as Saul Flores received a drop from Nick Camporini and fired a
shot off the crossbar. The 'Riders opened the scoring on 15
minutes when Brandon pounced on a Wolf turnover, streaked to goal and
again picked out Haskins down the left who was unmarked and beat Byron
Boots low and left for a 1-0 lead. A couple minutes later, a
near identical incident gave Brandon the ball in the Wolf end again.
Anthony took this one himself, dribbled past an onrushing Boots and
finished in the empty net for a 2-0 lead. Saul Flores helped get
the Wolves back in it on 18 minutes as he was set free down the left by
Jerry Azanza. Saul got to the endline, took it goalward and sent a
cross in that was finished by Omar Flores cutting the lead to 2-1.
The Wolves had life now and attacked with zest. Saul again got in
to the Rider penalty area on 30 minutes and got slashed down for an
apparent PK. Azanza duplicated Saul's attack 2 minutes later and
this time was rewarded with the spot kick. PA goalkeeper Jack
Doryland was up to the task though, stopping Azanza's shot to preserve
the lead. 60 seconds later, the opportunistic Brandon broke the
Wolves back, intercepting a defensive pass back to Boots, waltzing in
and finishing around Boots and a 3-1 lead. The game went from a
potential 2-2 tie to a 3-1 Port Angeles advantage in less than a minute.
Oh, the cruel beauty of the game.
The second half was nearly all Wolves, but they were unable to crack the
packed in Roughrider defense. Camporini and a nice chance on 53
minutes but was stymied by frustration and a scorers slump. At 4
wins and 5 losses, and 0-2 in League play, the season really hangs in
the balance with the outcome of the next 2 games against Klahowya and
North Mason.

Sequim Blanks Olympic 4-0

McHugh Brace leads Wolves past
Trojans
April 6, 2011, Silverdale Stadium
In between the
sleet and hail, Mitch McHugh scored 2 goals, one on each side of the
break to help Sequim unlock a 4-game losing skid. This game ended
the meaningless flurry of non-league matches and set the stage for the
final 7 league matches, beginning next week. The Wolves were too
fast for the Trojans on this night as McHugh got in behind the defenders
twice in the first 4 minutes. Still getting used to his borrowed
boots and shingards, he missed both offerings. Olympic was decent,
though, and earned a corner in the 5th minute, and rolled two crosses
through the Wolf penalty area that luckily came to naught. On 17
minutes, McHugh got the opener. Sent through from the left by Saul
Flores, Mitch took a long touch, gathered it and slotted it home low and
left, 1-0. Omar Flores missed two decent chances on 25 and 30
minutes, putting one over and the other wide right. The Trojans
countered after a defensive lapse but stubbled the shot wide.
The second half was slow to
start but got rolling after 50 minutes. McHugh got his second on
an assist from Saul (possibly offsides?). He finished up and over
Oly's keeper for a 2-0 lead. Mason Barrett was inserted up front
on 60 minutes and immediately began creating havoc with his speed.
First Jerry Azanza popped the crossbar on a stinging free-kick from 25
yards after Barrett had earned a foul. Then, Mason out-ran the
last defender down the right and got taken down in the box for a PK.
Byron Boots lumbered out from his own goal to smash home the spot kick
and a 3-0 lead. The finishing tally came from a corner kick by
Saul Flores that was bundled in off a defender. The final 4-0
score was hopefully the shot the Wolves needed to get the second half of
the season rolling in the right direction.

Bucs Rock Sequim
3-0
Shaky Defense, No Offense - Not a
good Combo
April 4, 2011, Sequim Stadium
This non-league
tester showed that the Wolves need work if they are to contend in the
post-season. A lethargic first half saw the Wolves lob only 4
shots on goal, while the Buccaneers were held to just 2. What was
happening, you may ask? I'm not even sure as my notebook was full
of ugly nothings.
The second half had
something, as on 42 minutes right-back Mason Barrett slashed forward,
working with Michael Lee, and zipped in a shot that was pushed wide.
Jerry Azanza then sizzled in a blast 2 minutes later that went just
wide. Meanwhile the Kingston counter-attack was getting lined up.
Buccaneer Cody Stevens was inserted to play deep on Irons Ring and
forced a confrontation on 57 minutes. Getting sandwiched between
Stevens and a Buc teammate as he retreated, Irons got pinched and the
ball squirted forward to Stevens for a 1 v 1 with Byron "Fresh From
Vacation" Boots. Boots was no match as the ball was slotted past
him and a 1-0 Kingston lead. The Wolves fought hard for the
equalizer and between 68 and 70 minutes had a series of 4 scary
corner-kicks that had Kingston crying for their mother. But they
withstood the onslaught and got another counter/gift from the Wolf
defense at the 74 minute mark. An weak, errant clearance ball went
straight to Stevens on the edge of the penalty box with which he made no
mistake. Taking the ball one step right and shooting just that
quick, gave the Bucs a 2-0 lead.
Sequim continued to push,
though, but was caught too far forward in the last minute. A
through ball to a corner running Stevens found him on a dead run.
The double-goal scorer then lofted in a sweet cross that was finished by
Chad Trask to complete the 3-0 whitewash.

Wolves Can't Stop
Vikings

Late Tally Gives North Kitsap 1-0 Win
March 22, 2011, Sequim Stadium
In a evenly fought
game, the Wolves came up just short to the Vikings from Poulsbo on
Tuesday. The game featured end-to-end action and both goalkeepers,
Byron Boots from Sequim and Jordan Hadden from North Kitsap were very
sharp. The Viking forward tandem of Ismael DeLuna and Garrett
Wilder got some early good looks but missed wide and high and Boots was
called on for 2 nice saves. At the other end, Nick Camporini and
Mitch McHugh were causing trouble for the Viking defenders.
Camporini put a blast wide right after being sent in on a pass from
Waylon Lam.

Wolves Cruise Past
Redskins 4-0
March 17, 2011, Memorial Stadium, Pt.
Townsend
Sequim marched in to
Memorial Stadium on Thursday and dominated the host Port Townsend
Redskins all over the sloppy, muddy turf. Waylon Lam set the tone
just 3 minutes in as he rattled the crossbar with a header after
connecting with a Saul Flores cross.

The Wolves overwhelmed the 'Skins early and Lam got the opener on 6
minutes as he finished a nice through ball from Nick Camporini.
Camporini set the table again, this time for Omar Flores on 20 minutes.
Flores took the pass, cut to his left and let go a lazy left-footer that
beat a screened Redskin keeper Brian LeMaster low and to his right. On 26 minutes,
Beau Little bumped the lead to 3-0 as he converted a neat shot from the
right after a cross from Mitch McHugh found him all alone. Saul
Flores finished the first-half blitz on 38 minutes, nailing a blast from
the left side. Mason Barrett had a sweet dummy (?) off a corner
kick that left Flores to collect the cross and unload for his second
tally of the year.
Sequim Goalkeeper, Byron
Boots, was called into action only a couple times - once on a breakaway
15 minutes in, and again in the second half on 56 minutes coming out
strong to stuff PT striker Max Gunn. Boots recorded his second
shut-out in three outings and theWolves moved to 3-0.

Camporini Bullet
Kills Cowboys 2-1
March 15, 2011, Sequim Stadium
Only 16 players turned out, no JV squad and a couple
super-small dudes warming up. Should be a cakewalk, right?
Don't tell the Cowboys they don't belong on the same field, as they used
a simple "when in doubt, kick it out" philosophy that stymied the Wolves
for most of the game. By just clearing the ball whenever they got
the chance the young and relatively unskilled Cowboys hung around until
a penalty kick in the 68th minute leveled the score at 1-1, negating
Waylon Lam's early tally. Chimacum goalkeeper Austin Maples was in
the zone and made at least 3 stellar saves to also keep the Cowboys
close.
Big Nick Camporini would not
accept a tie and just 2 minutes after the PK, Jacob Dewald split the
Cowboy right-side defense with a deft ball that set Camporini in on
goal. Nick drove down the right flank and unleashed a hard blast
that left Maples pawing the air and the back of the net rippling.
Chimacum was quiet the rest
of the way and the Wolves had a 2-0 record. |
Sequim Swamps 'Riders 3-0
March 12, 2011, Sequim Stadium
Waylon Lam poked home the season opening goal after a scramble in the
box left him unmarked 6 yds out. Nick Camporini's stellar header
and Saul Flores driven cross ended up in the back of the net within 10
more minutes and the Wolves were cruising. Avenging last year's
defeat, the Wolves dominated every phase of the game from goalkeeping to
housekeeping.

Players
to Watch: Gerry Azanza (M) 12 & Nick Camporini (F) 12. Gerry & Nick
give us a very solid core through the middle. Both are big and strong
and if they work together, may cause defenders fits.
Goalkeepers: Byron Boots (11)
What can
fans expect from your squad this year? This year’s team will be a
work in progress. Graduating 9 seniors, including 5 starters, leaves
this team young but hungry. A complete new midfield of Azanza, Omar
Flores, Michael Lee and Saul Flores should support veteran forwards
Camporini, Waylon Lam and Mitch McHugh. The defense is young and
athletic. Junior Irons Ring moves from right to center and will be
flanked by sophomore Mason Barrett and Freshman Lijah Sanford. The
innocence and ignorance of youth could lead to brilliance or tragedy and
most likely both in equal amounts. Azanza brings his passion and vocal
exuberance to every practice and game and this team will need him and
Camporini to solidify them into a working whole. This team has fun
playing the game and has the potential of showing some really nice
soccer. Hopefully they will be able show the Beautiful Game and win a
few in the process. The addition of the bigger 2A schools and the new
play-off format leaves post-season predictions in a mire. Goalkeeper
Byron Boots should keep the team confident in close games and on the
offensive side, Boots may be the best penalty shot taker we have!!
How will
your team do against the rest of the league this year? Big Rivals? Key
dates in the season?
The Olympic
League will again be led by North Kitsap. Kingston, Bremerton and
Olympic should be strong and Pt. Townsend is always a good rivalry.
March match-ups with the 2A schools will be very important, along with
the opening non-league match-up on March 12 vs Port Angeles.
