Six different players scored goals as the
Allen boys’ junior varsity soccer team had
its best offensive output of the season in a
7-1 thrashing of Highland Park Friday at
Eagles Stadium.
“We deserved a night like this after how
hard we’ve worked this year,” Coach Scott
Smith said. “The kids have worked hard
and had a tough year, but they put it all
together and had a great game.”
Kevin Groves and David Wishnew pro-
vided the most offensive spark, although
scores were spread around the whole
team. Groves scored Allen’s second and
seventh goals while Wishnew scored a goal
and had an assist in the first half.
Kyle Dziubinski started the Eagles scor-
ing in the first half at the 25:25 mark,
assisted by Wishnew. Allen then scored on
consecutive breakaways, the first by
Groves with 22 minutes left and the
second by Wishnew with 16:43 left. Ryan
Blake finished the scoring with 10 minutes
left off a throw-in to make the score 4-1 at
halftime.
Kody Seale started the Eagles second-
half scoring with a goal at 30:30, then
finished strong with goals by Wes Dendy at
the 8:10 mark and by Groves two minutes
later.
“We talked before the game about com-
ing out strong, putting statistics aside and
playing as one team,” Smith said. “We
were able to do that and we came out and
won a game with a team effort. We got a lot
of kids playing time and started working on
our goal for the second half of the season,
to win all six games.”
The Eagles’ main problem this season
has been the inability to finish drives to the
goal with shots, but against Highland Park,
they broke out of that doldrum. Smith said
the team has given great effort in practice
in the past week and he felt they would
have some success against the Scots.
“With the way we’ve worked and how
we played Friday, we’ve proven to
ourselves what we can do when we put it
together,” Smith said. “Our offense came
around and our defense continued to play
well and keep us in games.”

Despite his team playing to a 0-0 tie
Friday against Highland Park, Allen girls’
junior varsity soccer coach Dean Yeago
feels the Lady Eagles, by far, played their
best game of the year.
“From the standpoint of fundamentals,
technique, strategy and effort, team
effort, it was by far our best game,” Yeago
said. “We had a chance to score on a penal-
ty kick with 19 minutes left in the second
half, but we missed. Earlier in the week we
had talked about getting pumped for the
game with Highland Park and we had a
great team effort.”
Yeago said each player played at or near
her potential, with goalkeeper Carrie Hahn
providing the team’s spark by making 16
saves. While ties aren’t always the most
desired outcome from a game, Yeago told
the team going into the game he wasn’t
concerned about the score.
“What I wanted is for each player to play
up to her potential and ability, and that’s
what we did,” Yeago said. “The last time
we played Highland Park we lost, 2-1, and
coming out with a tie isn’t ideal, but we
were much more focused and took care of
ourselves in playing as a team.”
Yeago said a key to the Lady Eagles’ :
success in the game was being able to take
what they learned and worked on into the
game. That, he said, is one factor the team
has been able to take progressive steps
from and then not look at a loss as a digres-
sion.
“One reason I felt we would have suc-
cess this year is the girls have the ability to
take what they work on in practice and
apply it to games,” Yeago said. “We’re
able to teach them the little things and they
take them and make them work. This
junior varsity has developed a lot of tools
which they can use in the varsity ranks.
“As a coach, it is exciting to see the girls
work and how they will be able to go to the
varsity level and make them strong in the
future. The whole team excelled offensive-
ly and defensively and Carrie got us out of
several tight spots in goal.”
