Lovett Varsity v
Grady - 1-0
2/24/06
The Lovett
Boys soccer team took the field vs Grady HS for the first time in a while as
favorites. Grady won the game last year by 4 goals so Lovett was looking for
revenge. Grady had done their homework and Jamie White and Jack Hall were
tightly marked all game. The game was too close for comfort for the visiting
supporters with the only goal of the game coming from Eddie Nam who finished
a great chip from Jamie White after Jack Hall had let the ball run through to
the younger Nam.
Unfortunately Jack Hall took a knee in the back on this play and had to miss
the rest of the game. Jamie White also had a bad back ache that restricted
his mobility throughout the game. With these limitations it was an uphill
battle for the rest of the team to hold off a Grady team that started to grow
in confidence, also boosted by the extremely large home crowd. The Lovett
boys led determinedly by Boone DuPree, who ran his socks off, held off the
Grady assault and recorded a 1-0 victory. The defense held tight again with
some amazing saves, Drew Chambers kept a clean sheet and Andrew Bleke stayed
busy and aggressive all game. It is often said that good sides find a way to
win even when they perform below their best and this was certainly one of
those nights. However the 100% record is still intact and the win streak
continues.
