It was another tough afternoon for the Morris boys as Oswego East won the Southwest Prairie Conference match by a 3-0 score. “Actually, the first 20 minutes, we played well but the last 60, they piled on the shots,” Morris coach George Dare said. “Once they started shooting, they hit us with pretty much everything.” Jake Paradise recorded the hat trick to lead the Wolves. At halftime the score was 2-0. Oswego East recorded 33 shots on the day with 23 of those being on goal. Morris keeper Shane Dare recorded 18 saves. The Redskins had seven shots on goal including two each from Zach Schmitt, Nick Phillips and Tyler Jollay. Ferdie Dzelil had the other chance. “The kids played better than they had been playing,” Dare said. “I thought defensively Andy Oehlwein and Steve Bretweiser played well and on offense, Zach Schmitt played well at midfield.” In the JV game, Morris won 2-1 behind goals by Kyle Hall and Jake Jollay. The team is now 1-2-1. “We played really well. It's good to get that first win,” Morris coach Sean Porter said. “I thought Tom Woodard and Kyle Hall played well today.” Kevin Wendling was the winning keeper.
