The Caro Tigers were hosting the team from USA for their first confrontation of the season. Both teams were exhibiting a shortage in the roster due to injuries and sickness which reduced the lineup on both sides to 14 players each team.

The tone was set by the hosts as right winger and Junior Brady Rigg had a breakaway and face to face with the USA goalie to see the shot go wide due to a bad bounce. The Tigers were dominating all along and another cross from Rigg went right towards the net but the USA goalie made an amazing save to keep his team in the game. Miscommunication among the Caro defenders gave the visitors a chance to score but Captain and Senior Klayton Clish made the save of the night by really stealing a goal from them. Another chance came from Senior Blake Spencer who could not get a decent shot at the goalie but had a better one with his head but towards the goalie's arms. The game was becoming physical and the intensity was increasing as the first half came to a halt with no outcome on the scoreboard.

The speech from the coach was all about praising his players for the effort and the game plan they have been following and frustrating their opponents at various occasions. The coach pointed out to his players that they played as a team and unit and it was nice to watch finally the players communicating among themselves. More emphasis was on marking tighter and go to the ball first.

Second half started with sun on the Caro goalie's eyes. Many attempts to score came mostly from the Tigers but without capitalizing on the various chances. The center midfield was well controlled and managed by Junior and Captain Marik Phillips and the amazing defensive crew was led by Sophomore and Sweeper Jeremiah Anderson who had a great game. Another player worth a mention was Junior and Captain Tanner Smith who played at the right midfield position and feeding the forward players with his amazing throw-ins. He actually delivered two wonderful shots towards the goalie who was at the right place to save them. More spectacular saves were made by Senior and Captain Clish who without any doubt kept his team in the game and delivered his shut-out.

The MVP award was presented to Freshman and right defender Jacob Zbytowski who marked his opponent tightly all the time and prevented him to make dangerous shots. He was also noticed by the Tigers goalie Clish who agreed with the choice of the MVP. Zbytowski applies his coach's instructions and is improving very fast from week to week.

Next game is away at CAPAC at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, October 5th. The bus will leave at 4 pm from High School.
