Highlight Performance:
Coming off of a big Divisional win the weekend before, practices were buzzing all week with big energy for the Trojans Juniors. The first quarter saw Bowie take an early lead, with a few quick goals in succession. After a time out and some redirection from the coaching staff, the Trojans came back and scored a few fast break goals to bring the score near even. The second half was a back and forth hard-fought ground ball battle, that saw both goalies making doorstep saves. One particular pass that was floated to the back doorstep, saw Midfielder Crawford Guinn jumping through the air, catching it over his head, and slamming it top corner before tumbling to the ground. Near the end of the fourth quarter, the score is all tied at 7, and an errant clearing pass is intercepted by Bowie at the midline. With a single pass, he found his teammate on the doorstep with 10 yards of space from everyone but the goalie. Goalie Ryan Dapper steps up and stuffs the shot, preserving the tie. Two minutes into the Overtime period, a missed pass turned into the final goal, as Attackman Colin Voss snagged the ball out of the air and finished with a dart to the back corner.

What Set Them Apart:

Teamwork and trust set the Trojans apart. This is a young team that is still learning to work together, but they all stepped up and did their part to contribute to a great team win.

Next Game: 3/29 @ 1:15pm vs. Liberty Hill Juniors
