Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011 lC SPORTS AND. RECREATIO N Trojans take title Shannon Morrow Sports Editor sports@plumasnews.com The Quincy High School boys' soccer team captured the section championship with a 3-1 victory in the title match against Tulelake Sat- urday, Oct. 29. Two days earlier, the top- seeded Quincy Trojans elimi- nated Redding Christian in a semifinal match, also by a score of 3-1. Quincy completed its sea- son with an overall record of 19-5-2. "It's been an incredible season for us," said first-year head coach Tanner Johns. "We've been dominant pretty much the whole year. I'm re- ally proud of this team." With nine seniors and eight freshmen on the team, Johns" explained how the old- er players :helped the younger players come along. Besides winning the cham- pionship, Johns said he is most proud of the fact that none of his players drew a single yellow card all season. This was in stark contrast to Tulelake, which had three players receive yellow cards in Saturday's championship match. The game opened with three early scoring attacks by Tulelake, but then Quincy quickly turned the tables and scored two goals within the first 10 minutes of the match. Dante Knowles put in the Trojans' first goal, and Justin Lusk delivered the second goal. Dale Morgan and Luis Rubalcava-Cunan -were credited witli the as- sists. After leading 2-0 at half- time, the Trojans struck again 10 minutes into the sec- ond half with a goal by Dale Morgan off an excellent cross from Che Rubalcava-Cunan. Tulelake scored its lone goal late in the game. Henry Dillingham led the Trojans with seven steals, followed by Kyle Morgan and Ethan Skemp with five each and Lusk and Viet Tran with four apiece. Keeper Garrett Hagwood made five saves. In Quincy's semifinal match against Redding Christian last Thursday, the Trojans fell behind 1-0 early in the game, but then Lusk connected with Dale Morgan for the tying goal, making the score 1-1 at halftime. Approximately 10 minutes into the second half, Lusk scored off a pass from Luis Rubalcava-Cunan to give Quincy the lead. The Trojans' final goal was • scored by Luis Rubalcava- Cunan off a corner kick by Lusk. Hagwood captured seven saves in the game, and Dillingham nabbed nine steals.

Lemons scored four goals for the Chester Volcanoes in their title match Saturday night, Oct. 29. Photo by Shannon Morrow Volcanoes win championship Shannon Morrow Sports Editor sports@plumasnews.com The Chester High School girls' soccer team reached its full potential in its champi- onship match against Portola last Saturday night, when the Volcanoes earned a 6-0 victo- ry for the league title. • "They probably played their best game that night as ateam," said Chester coach Eric O'Kelley. "The girls were ready. It was a good way to finish the season." Chester's Miranda Lemons scored four goals in the match, and McKenna Taylor scored twice. Three of Lemons' goals came in the first period, giv- ing Chester a 3-0 lead at half- time. In the second half, Taylor converted on a penalty kick and then powered a shot past the Portola keeper. Lemons landed one final goal before being substituted out. As prolific as the Volca- noes' offense was, Chester de- fense was Just as formidable, allowing the Tigers very few scoring opportunities. "The defense was really phenomenal," said O'Kelley. Chester earned seven shutouts this season, conced- ing just one ,goal while scor- ing 32. O'Kelley described stopper Emma LeSeur as anchoring the defense, and also named right fullback Kelsey Wilkin- son, left •fullback Samantha Marrs, sweeper Emily Mon- day and keeper Emily La- Groue as Chester's other sol- id players in back. The Volcanoes had six newer players on this year's team. "It's neat to see kids grow in confidence," said O'Kelley. "When they have a challenge and rise to the occasion, they learn that they have some- thing more than they know." Chester had just one senior on this year's squad, so al- most all the players will be returning next season. i
