Little Cypress-Mauriceville vs. Beaumont Central Boys Match Thread/LC-M wins!


Recommended Posts

Zachary Blanchard's header off a corner kick from Garhett Bonneaux propelled the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears soccer team to a thrilling 2-1 come from behind victory over the Central Jaguars Tuesday night in Beaumont.  Blanchard's game-winning goal occurred with three minutes remaining in the game. Bonneaux also scored a goal on an assist from Jordan King in a game featurng two teams battling for a playoff spot.

    Bears Head Coach Jeremy Watzlavik was excited with the Bear's clutch win. "I am so proud of this team", said Watzlavik of his team's effort.  "This season, we have come through injury and adversity.  Tonight, we were playing as a team, and capitalize the word 'team'."

    Not only did the Bears face a strong Jaguar team, they also battled rain, wind, and a very sloppy field.  In the first half, it was the defense that kept the Bears in the game.  "Several times, our back defensive line caused the Jaguars to be offsides.  And goalie Adam Garza had a great game," Watzlavik commented.

  Following a scoreless first half, the Jaguars scored approximately three minutes into the second half when a Bear defender lost his footing on the slick field for a 1-0 lead. 

    The Bears quickly responded with a goal two minutes later.  Jordan King drove the ball down the left side of the field and centered the ball to Bonneaux near the 18-yard box.  Bonneaux then pivoted around towards the Jaguar goal and booted the ball past the goalie for a score.

    "Our first goal was the result of beautiful ball movement", Watlavik stated.  "It was pretty soccer.  The drive, the pass, and the score were all well-executed." 

    Bonneaux was quick to recognize Jordan King's contribution to the game-tying score.  "Jordan had a good run to draw two defenders and that left me open", Bonneaux described.  "He made a spot-on pass through the two defenders and that's what gave me the time and space to score." 

    Throughout the second half, the Bears appeared to gain momentum.  Several Bears' shots on goal were denied by a strong Jaguar defense. As the contest continued, defenders Zarchary Blanchard, Harley Cobb, and Erik Tutt were critical in keeping the Jaguars from scoring. Keeper Adam Garza made several saves.  Other Bears with strong performances were Mitchell Heil, Tanner Crow, Daniel Delafuente, Ceasar Coca, and Yohannes Dundon.   

    The teams exhaustedly battled as the second half was nearing an end.  With three minutes remaining in the game, the Bears earned a corner kick on the left side of the field.  The Bears packed their offense in front of the Jaguars goal.  Bonneaux then sent a corner kick at head level directed five yards from the Jaguar goal.  Zachary Blanchard then perfectly headed the ball for the game-winning goal.

    "Blanchard's first goal of the season couldn't have come at a better time" said Watzlavik of his stellar defender. 

    Blanchard explained that "my job on the corner kick was to mark the goalie and get in his way".  "It was a really good cross by Bonneaux and then I hit the ball with the left side of my head".  When Blanchard saw the ball go into the net for a score,  he stated that "I was really pumped up."

    Time expired before the Jaguars could tie the game. 

    "It was a great team effort", said Coach Watzlavik.  "All of our players had a really good game.  Central is a great team, but our kids were up to the task."

    The memorable win was a hard earned effort.  And for the Bears, a most satisfying night for a team that proved that it will be in the thick of the playoff hunt.  The Bears host the Vidor Pirates on Friday night.

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
