In their seventh match of the season, the Saint
James Trojans Varsity Boys defeated the
Montgomery Academy Eagles 3 - 1 at Carlisle
Field on a cool Tuesday evening. Ben
Olree, with an assist from Coleman Taylor, scored the only goal
of the first half for Saint James in the 31st
minute of what was turning into a defensive battle, leaving the Trojans ahead by one goal at the end of the first half.
Again Saint James
returned to start the second half
with aggressive
play and Tristan Elmore scored
in the 9th minute (49th
overall) with a beautiful arching shot
from outside the box on
the right side of the
goal giving the Trojans
a 2 - 0 lead. Ted Park for
Montgomery Academy scored 14 minutes
later cutting the
Saint James lead in half, but the
Trojan defense
held the rest of the match not
allowing Montgomery Academy
another score. Coleman
Taylor finished
the game with a dramatic third
goal in the final 15 seconds of
the match. Keeper Dashaun
Lewis had a good match with
saves on seven of Montgomery
Academy's eight
shots.
Saint James had five shots on goal for
the evening and three corner kicks while the Eagles
earned four corner kicks.
Coleman Adams and Tristan Elmore shared "Man of the Match" honors.
