Next Victim ...

This was from the announcements on 01/25/10 about 01/22/10 game against Richardson:

Last Friday night, 5A Richardson High School, was dethroned as they incurred the wrath of Coach Fennig’s Dedicated Disciples of Doom. The Eagles were shot down in their own stadium 2 to 1 and were left in dismay at our Raiders prowess and undefeated record.

Sunnyvale opened the scoring in the first half with the solo and mercurial effort of Tucker Ray, whose blinding speed down the right side, deep into Richardson territory set himself up for what is certainly a candidate for “goal of the year”. While at a full sprint, Tucker fired a right-footed shot, 90 degrees to his left, just before the end line, arcing the ball professionally over the tips of the keeper’s outstretched arms and gloves. The ball then sailed unimpeded along its majestic trajectory to the far post, where it ducked under the horizontal cross bar. With an audible “Dink!” the ball kissed the vertical bar, crossed the plane of the goal, and wrapped itself in the side net. The Raiders never looked back.

In the second half, Henry “Baby Hippo” Sales, shined with his first ever goal as a Raider. His perfectly placed header off a deflected shot left the Richardson defense frustrated and confused. Even Henry’s goal celebration was worthy of praise.


Richardson did manage to score a consolation goal late in the game but it was far too little, far too late.


If there were any serious threats to the Raider goal, they were quickly dispatched by the heroically defensive tactics of Matthew Kellogg and Michael Schiller.



Tonight, Coach Fennig and the Raiders soccer team march into Bishop Lynch stadium where the Friars will soon see the error of their ways
