Last Saturday, Strongsville High School came downtown to take on Ignatius. It was the biggest game of the season for all the teams involved, both JV and Varsity. Earlier this year, Strongsville's JV handed Ignatius' JV their only loss. And, both varsity teams are top-ranked in the state.
JV Game - Jackson hadn't given up a goal all season. That ended quickly as Strongsville knocked in a goal in the opening moments of the game. Ignatius did score in the 2nd half to tie the game 1-1, and that's how the game ended.
This past week, Jackson learned that he would be dressing varsity for the remainder of the season, plus the playoffs. So, he went into the Strongsville game not giving up a goal all season + dressing varsity. So, the early goal was a good reminder about how humbling sports can be. Then, mid-way through the 2nd half, he got cleated in the groin and had to leave the game. Ah, the joys of sports.
Varsity Game - the Ignatius varsity team is REALLY good this year. They came out and put 3 goals in the net in the first half and handed Strongsville their first loss all year. It was very impressive.
One more regular season game this coming Saturday, then onto the playoffs, and a defense of their 2008 State Championship!!!
