After halftime, the JV team came out with a lot of energy and had many more opportunities offensively. Five minutes into the second half, the Bulldogs got within one goal after Grant Peters delivered a ball to Owen Powers who finished a shot just past the goalkeeper. The rest of the half was a hard-fought battle by both teams but Batesville couldn’t quite score the equalizer. Franklin Community eventually scored with 45 seconds left in the match to win by a final score 3-1.

Two of the boys ran personal best of 36 seconds and 22 seconds! I was so proud of them all!

The Greensburg Lady Pirates Soccer started the morning out with Senior Katie Beam honoring her Influential Faculty Member at Greensburg Community High School. Katie honored Teacher and former soccer coach Mike Myers. She mentioned how Myers “made me a better person through soccer and in your classroom. You have made me learn that everything doesn’t need to be perfect. You can mess up sometimes.” Thank you, Mr. Myers, for being a mentor to our community.

Keeper Emillee Ernstes saw 32 shots on goal, two of which were penalty kicks. The only shot attempt the Pirates had in the game was from Emily Rosales.

Lady Trojan Spikers Runners-Up At Muncie Central
ECVB traveled to Muncie Central yesterday for a modified tournament. We defeated Muncie Central to open the day 2-1 and then Richmond in the second match 2-1. In the championship match, we fell to a tough Wapahani team 0-2.
We started slowly against Muncie Central. We didn’t play bad, we just didn’t play to our potential in the first set. They were able to push through and come back to win the next two.
ECVB vs Muncie Central 9-26-20Richmond was a slight opposite- we started off pretty well and then fell off in set 2 after jumping out to a big lead. We gave up a lot of points in the middle of the set and couldn’t come back. They pulled it back together in set three.
ECVB vs Richmond 9-26-20Wapahani is a tough team. They are always very disciplined and this year’s team was no different. They can make something out of nothing. In the first set, we just gave them too many free balls to smash it down on our side. In set two, we stayed with them a lot better and even forced a timeout when we took the lead mid-way through. Until about 20-18, we fought hard. After that, they outscored us 5-1 to finish the match.
ECVB vs Wapahani 9-26-20Varsity is now 13-7. Next-go back to Rushville to finish our match that got postponed back in August.
