OHS Soccer Banquet THIS Sunday, Dec. 2nd at 5pm!

Hi all Soccer families,

So far Mrs. Doyle has only heard from 6 JV parents and about half of the Varsity families.  If you are interested in attending the banquet this Sunday, please respond to her via the email that I sent a few weeks ago ASAP so that she can get a total headcount.  She needs a total headcount for the caterer.

Details: Sun., Dec. 2nd at 5pm, Exchange Club Park in Hillsborough, catered by Kelsey's Cafe.

Thanks so much, and we look forward to seeing you there!

-Coach Hunter

JV Plans for Fri., Oct. 19th and Mon., Oct. 22nd (J.F. Webb game canceled, home scrimmage instead!)

Due to not having enough players, the JV J.F. Webb team has had to cancel their game against us this coming Monday, Oct. 22nd.

However, the Orange JV players are so excited to play "one last game" that they have decided to host an intra-squad scrimmage on Monday instead. We would love to host as many JV players that want to play and parents that want to watch as possible.  Afterwards, there will be a short "potluck" with any snacks or drinks that parents would like to bring, and Coach Hunter will go over some brief post-season details with the players and parents.

There will be no practice Tuesday, and although there will be no practice on Wednesday, JV players are encouraged to attend the Varsity Senior Night game against Northern Vance at 6pm.

Friday, Oct. 19th:  Very short JV practice (4:10-5:15pm) to go over some end-of-season details and work out the details of Monday's scrimmage.

Monday, Oct. 22nd: ALL PLAYERS NEED TO BRING THEIR WHITE AND BLACK JERSEYS AND GAME SHORTS!  4:15 pm: Warm-up for players, 5:00pm: Intra-squad scrimmage (two 30-minute halves with a short halftime), 6:10pm:  Snacks, etc.

Stay posted for details about the end-of-season banquet!

As always, feel free to contact Coach Hunter with questions.

Due to the Early Release Schedule, there will be no JV Practice on Weds., Oct. 17th

JV Panthers lose two games and win one to bring overall record to 5-4

Lionel Reid-Shaw heads it past Chapel Hill player

The JV Men's Soccer team shifted their overall record to 5-4-1 with 2 tough losses to conference opponents Chapel Hill and Cardinal Gibbons, followed by a big victory over conference opponent J.F. Webb.

Preston Harris makes a clearance

The team played Chapel Hill and Cardinal Gibbons in back-to-back games on September 25^th and September 26^th, losing the first game to Chapel Hill and the second game to Cardinal Gibbons.  Both games were hard-fought and displayed the trepidation of this year's JV Panthers, not to mention their composure.

Aidan Farrell, Player of the Game (Cardinal Gibbons)

The team faced Chapel Hill the first night and sprung one on the Tigers by going up 1-0 in the first half with a goal from Gerardo Figueroa. The team excitedly played out the first half with each player being told one or two technical or tactical areas of improvement throughout the game.

Gerardo Figueroa was named Player of The Game not only for his goal, but also for his constant hustle as a center midfielder and his quick, tactful, decision-making in the middle. Great game, Gera!

Gera Figueroa, Player of the Game (Chapel Hill)

Despite a 4-1 loss, the team knew where to tighten up as individuals, and took that into the following game against Cardinal Gibbons.

Fighting until the last whistle, the JV panthers were thrilled to see Caleb Gray score with a header in the Cardinal Gibbons game.  Both keepers played fearlessly and were commended for their effort and saves.  Aidan Farrell (above right) was named the player of the game for his non-stop fight and hard work, chasing down the Gibbons defenders and never giving up.

Hungry for their first conference win, the JV Panthers faced opponent J.F. Webb on Wednesday, October 3^rd. The team focused on those specific areas of improvement from the previous games and practices and were happy to see goals from Danny Archibard, Caleb Anderson (2), Adam Medina, Lionel Reid-Shaw, Davis Scott, Daniel Allred, and Joey Ricca, as well as assists from Austin Goehring, Lionel Reid-Shaw, and Aidan Farrell (2).

Cyrus Rainey, Player of the Game (J.F. Webb)

The Player of The Game against J.F. Webb was Cyrus Rainey (shown right), who improved greatly throughout practice last week, played with lots of hustle against J.F. Webb, and set up some good passes at both midfield and forward positions.  Great game, Cyrus!

The team heads into their second match against Chapel Hill tomorrow at Chapel Hill.  The JV game will begin at 5pm.

Both teams will practice in the gym today, Tues., Oct. 9th AND both teams have an Away game vs. Northwood on Friday, Oct. 12th

Both the JV and Varsity Men's Soccer will practice in the small gym today.  JV will practice from 4-5pm and Varsity will practice from 5-6pm.

JV defeats both Bartlett Yancey & Cedar Ridge in back-to-back games!

Caleb Anderson maneuvers the ball

Friday, September 7th: 2-0 win over Bartlett Yancey

Starting their weekend off right, the JV team beat opponent Bartlett Yancey 2-0 Friday night.  The team assessed the BY field and warmed up as the captains learned a few quick tips about choosing sides of the field based on the angle of the sun.  After winning the coin toss, the Panthers took the field facing the sun.  Both teams came out strong and played an aggressive game, and close to the end of the first half, captain Lionel Reid-Shaw was taken down inside the 18-yard box.  On his penalty kick, he sent a rocket in to the right-hand side of the goal, sending the Panthers into halftime with a 1-0 lead.

Danny Archibald, Player of the Game (BY)

Excited but not satisfied, the Panthers went into the second half eager to score again.  With the sun now setting, the plan was for the team to send as many balls in the air towards the goal as they could.  They moved to a 4-3-3, with three forwards up top in hopes of having more scoring options to secure the lead.

With about twenty minutes left, Lionel Reid-Shaw sent a cross in the air to the box.  Outside midfielder Joey Ricca finished it decisively with a header, moving the Panthers up by two goals, where they would finish out the game.

The Player of the Game was Danny Archibald, who showed a great amount of hard work and hustle as an outside midfielder.  Not only that, he made creative and concise passes, continually keeping the play moving.  The coaches are excited about Danny's progress!

Jaden Vines makes a crucial PK save

Monday, Sept. 10th: 1-0 win over Cedar Ridge

The team then played Cedar Ridge on Monday, Sept. 10th.  Relatively evenly matched, the teams played to a scoreless halftime.  The second half was equally as exciting, with goalkeeper Jaden Vines stopping a Cedar Ridge PK to hold the score at 0-0 (shown right) and tons of missed shots from the JV Panthers.  With the stands packed and four minutes left to play, after taking 22 shots, the Panthers finally put one away after Austin Goehring passed a ball to Lionel Reid-Shaw, who blasted his shot off of the keeper and into the net, sending the Panthers home with a narrowly won 1-0 game.  The team couldn't have been more excited.

There were to players of the game against Cedar Ridge: Lionel Reid-Shaw and Jaden Vines.  

Lionel Reid-Shaw celebrates after his game-winning goal

Jaden collected 8 total saves, many of them by coming out and playing the ball with his feet.  Jaden has shown massive amounts of improvement this year in goal!  From never playing goalie to being able to read the field and to come out early with no hesitation, Jaden's improvement has been great to see.  His touch on the ball with his feet has also greatly improved, and was evidenced in the game against Cedar Ridge.  Great game, Jaden!

Lionel Reid-Shaw is now both the assist leader and leading scorer for the JV Panthers.  He played various positions against the Red Wolves, and had excellent composure in all of them.  Lionel is shown above right celebrating with teammates after bringing home the winning goal for the Panthers.

The JV team plays at home next Wednesday against Northwood high school at 5pm.  We hope you'll join us!

Varsity & JV practice plans for today (Thursday, Sept. 13th) and tomorrow (Friday, Sept. 14th)

Both Varsity and JV practices will end early on Thursday, Sept. 13th (5:30pm).

Both Varsity and JV practices are canceled on Friday, Sept. 14th.  All players are strongly encouraged (although not required) to go support the Varsity football team at home Friday night.  Game time is at 7:30pm.  Coach Hunter will have a sign-in sheet at the back gate for players who are in attendance--be sure to sign-in with her if you are there.

Thanks!

Meet the Fall 2012 JV Men's Soccer Captains!

This year, the JV Men's Soccer team will be led by three all-new captains!  Finn Hubbs, Chandler Compton, and Lionel Reid-Shaw were all selected by the team to be this year's captains.

Finn Hubbs

 Finn Hubbs (shown left) joins the team from last year, and although this is only his second year playing soccer, his tireless work ethic and natural athletic ability have made him a repeating starter as well as a leader on the field.

Chandler Compton

Chandler Compton (shown  right) joins the OHS team as a freshman from Gravelly Hill.  Thus far, as a defender, Chandler has scored the game-winner against Cedar Ridge and he hopes to add a few more goals to his name by the end of the season.  Also a natural leader, Compton has a competitive side that quickly spreads to the rest of the team.

Lionel Reid-Shaw

Lionel Reid-Shaw (shown left), the team's third captain, also joins the team as a freshman from Stanford.  Currently the team's assist leader, Lionel's composed and positive presence in the center of the field makes his leadership a given. 

Congratulations, captains, and let's continue to have a great season.

Be sure to complete Independent Workout #3 this weekend before Monday's game!

INDEPENDENT WORKOUT #3: SEPTEMBER 8, 2012

Only three words should remind you why you have an Independent Workout this weekend:

Cedar Ridge -- Monday.

At home. Don't come in Monday after two days off.  How hard you train this weekend and how much you focus on Sunday will both have great impacts on our success against the Red Wolves.  On Monday, we will begin to warm-up promptly at 4:00pm (not 4:15!), so you need to get up to the field as soon as school gets out.  On Saturday or Sunday (but preferably Saturday so that on Sunday, you can rest before the game), all players are expected to complete the following independent workout.  It will take approximately an hour and a half.  You can meet up with other players to complete the workout if that is easier for you OR supplement the workout with a game/scrimmage, etc.  There is usually a group that plays Saturday morning pick-up soccer at Gold Park at 10am.    You are welcome to head out there if you'd prefer to play a game.  Let's get ready for Monday. 
I.  Run: 25 minutes total + warm up/stretch

5 minutes: Run at a steady (conversational) pace.

10 minutes: Stretch

5 minutes: Run at a faster pace (just above steady—you shouldn’t be able to talk without losing your breath)

5 minutes: Easy jog

5 minutes: Run hard

5 minutes: Jog easy, cool down

II. Dribbling & Foot Skills. 

10 minutes: In a small grid, dribble with a ball, touching it as often as possible.  Pull moves that are NOT your standard moves.  Try some new ones.  Use your weak foot.

5 minutes: Dribble in between cones (shirts, etc. work fine).  Use both feet.  Cut with speed and accuracy.

5 minutes: Toe touches & Side Taps.

III.  Body Circuit. (Complete each circuit for 1 minute, rest, then switch to next.  Repeat each set 3x.):

Arms/Core. Push ups, forward plank, right plank, left plank, crunches, buzzer jacks.

Panthers win 1, lose 1 against Cedar Ridge and Jordan

By: Danny Archibald

Chandler Compton scores the game-winner against Cedar Ridge

The Orange Panthers played the Cedar Ridge Red Wolves on August 29th at Cedar Ridge.  Right from the start, the Panthers had some great offensive maneuvers and worked their way around the Cedar Ridge defense putting many shots off, but the Cedar Ridge defense managed to hold them down 0-0 until halftime.

Joey Ricca in the Cedar Ridge game

In the second half, with less than 20 minutes in the game, Gera Figueroa kicked a perfect corner kick straight towards the center of the box, and defender Chandler Compton put away a great goal with his head to pull the Panthers into a 1-0 lead.  By the end of the game, CRHS was giving it all they had trying to tie the score up, but couldn't quite put a goal past the Panthers' defense. The final score for the game was 1-0, bringing home a win for the JV Panthers.

Davis Scott shields off a Jordan defender

Alex Fish makes a save against Jordan

On September 5th, OHS played Jordan High School at Jordan. The Panthers played a good game, but were somewhat outmatched.  Although the Panthers put up solid defense, Jordan scored 2 goals by the end of the first half. After halftime, Jordan scored 2 quick goals, bringing the score up to 4-0. At the end of the game Jordan put away 3 more, putting the score at 7-0.  Never giving up, the Panthers came off the field upset but not broken.  They immediately shifted their focus to the next game: Friday, September 7th against Bartlett Yancey.

*Big thanks again to Lori Rogers for the photos!

Labor Day Practice & Photos from Cedar Ridge game

There will be NO JV practice on Monday, Sept. 3rd.  Varsity will have a one-hour practice from 5:30-6:30pm.

JV Panthers win 1, lose 1 in first week of games

Austin Goehring takes on an E. Alamance player

The 2012 JV Panthers opened up their first week of games with a 5-1 loss to Eastern Alamance followed by a 2-0 win against Bartlett Yancey.  Due to mechanical bus issues and the weather, respectively, both games had to be shortened, and the team played shorter halves than usual.

Despite the wait for both games to start and the torrential downpour on Tuesday, the team was excited to see the stands packed with friends and family.

Bartlett Yancey halftime discussion

The conditions at the start of the game vs. Bartlett Yancey

Daniel Gallardo opened up the season's statbook for Orange in the Eastern Alamance game, scoring decisively off of a one-touch shot from a corner kick taken by Austin Goehring.

Caleb Anderson got the two goals for Orange against Bartlett Yancey, showing that he can still put the ball away regardless of rainy conditions.  Anderson's second goal was assisted by center midfielder Lionel Reid-Shaw.

Both new goalkeepers (Alex Fish and Jaden Vines) got good time in goal and showed lots of potential for the season.  Both keepers are naturally athletic and good the air, and they are consistently working hard each day on their keeper skills.

The JV team plays cross-town rival Cedar Ridge next Wednesday at Cedar Ridge at 5pm.  We hope you'll be able to join us!
