Unbeaten Lakeview shuts out Patriots (10/08/03)
Local Roundup
Jay County’s boy soccer team played what coach Alan Bailey called its best game of the year Thursday. Still, the Patriots couldn’t knock Lakeview Christian (14-0) from the ranks of the unbeaten in a 1-0 defeat.
Jay County (9-4) held state leading scorer John Singer to just two shots in the contest, but Calen Roome picked up just enough of the slack. He connected on his only shot of the contest — a penalty kick after Scott Bruggeman was called for a hand ball — scoring what would be the game-winning goal with 15 minutes to go in the first half.
The teams played to a stand-still the rest of the game, each finishing with seven shots on goal. The Patriots also won 38 free balls to Lakeview’s 25.
Trent Bailey led the shooting effort for Jay County with two. Dave Johnston, Adam Brandt, Scott Bruggeman, Kyle Carpenter and Eduardo Nieto each added one.
Bailey allowed the game’s lone goal, taking over the position only to defend against he penalty kick. Drew Lloyd spent most of the game patrolling the net, saving all five shots against him.
The Patriots will play at home Thursday against Muncie Central at 4:30 p.m.
