Carpenter builds Patriot victory with four goals (08/29/03)
Local Roundup
If Delta wasn’t familiar with Kyle Carpenter before, it sure is now.
The ultimate goal for any soccer or hockey player is a hat trick. Carpenter even surpassed that Thursday, scoring all of the Jay County boys soccer team’s goals in a 4-2 victory over the Delta Eagles.
Delta’s Tyler Wright scored just eight minutes into the game on a breakaway, but it was all Carpenter from there.
He tied the game with six minutes to play in the first half, deflecting a Dave Johnston corner kick into the net with his chest. Less that five minutes later the Patriots were awarded a direct kick, and Carpenter converted again.
He added two more goals after the intermission, one on a Chad Keen assist and the other with a header after another corner kick by Johnston. Wright scored once in the second half for the final margin.
Jay County (2-1) had 40 shots in the contest — 12 by Carpenter — compared to 17 for Delta. Scott “Scooter” Bruggeman and Keen each added five shots.
Trent Bailey saved nine of the Eagles’ 11 shots on goal.
The Patriots’ next test will come Tuesday when they visit Olympic Athletic Conference rival Connersville at 5 p.m.
Star spikers fall
The struggles for the South Adams volleyball team continued Thursday as it dropped a 21-13, 21-9, 21-10 decision to the Heritage Patriots.
Senior Kelly Mertz again paced the team with five kills. She also added 14 digs.
Robin Habegger was next with seven digs, and she had one ace. Alyssa Miller notched seven assists, Brooke Fox had a block and Renee Neuenschwander served one ace.
The Starfires’ junior varsity team took a 21-11, 24-22 defeat, and the freshman squad lost 21-13, 21-19.
South Adams will play its first home match of the season Tuesday when it hosts Adams Central at 6 p.m.
