2007 Mens Varsity Team News: Game # 6- Chattahoochee - 3/2/07 (L 0 - 2) The Longhorns played a great match against the visiting Cougars but were not able to come away with a victory. Even though Chattahoochee was a highly ranked team in the state, they were severly tested by the Longhorns. Colin Ross played an excellent game in goal with many great saves. On two seperate occasions he prevented scores when faced with a one on one situation, great job. The Longhorns held the Cougars to one goal until late in the game. A highly questionable call by the referee led to the second Cougar score. Game # 5 - Wheeler - 2/27/07 (L 2 -7) The Men's Varsity traveled to Wheeler High School for their fifth game of the season and were upset in a lopsided match. Game # 4 - McEachern - 2/23/07 (W 3-0 ) The Longhorns really showed their metal against the McEachern Indians Friday night. The Kell offensive pressed the Indians the entire game. Kell had many scoring opportunities in the first half but could not convert until late in the half. A foul was commited in the box which set up David Velasquez for the penality kick. He drove it by the goalie's left and low into the corner for the first score. Longhorns managed two more scores in the second half. Michael Craddock managed to get a foot on a rebounded ball for a chip shot into the goal. Toward the end of the game Joe Dixon blew by two defenders for a one on one against the goalie and Joe made him pay with the final score. The defense shut down the McEachern offense for the most of the game. The McEachern team could not put any real pressure on the Kell goal. A very nicely played game by the Longhorn Men, congratulations guys! Game # 3- Campbell - 2/20/07 (L 1-2 ) The Kell Longhorns faced a tough opponent Tuesday night when they matched up against Campbell High School. The conditions were miserable with continous rain during the game. During the first half the wind was directly at the back of the campbell offense and contributed to their first goal. The Kell offense was never able to get on track and force an attack against the opponents goal. Campbell pressed on offense the majority of the game and really worked the Kell defense. The Longhorn defense did a wonderful job holding the strong Campbell offense to only two scores. Game # 2 - Cherokee - 2/16/07 (W 2-0) The Kell Longhorn Men looked determined in the second game and finished off their performance with a shutout of the Cherokee High Warriors. The whole team looked strong with the Kell midfield and forwards dominating play in the first half. The defense completely shut down the Cherokee forwards for most of the game which prevented the Warriors from mounting any kind of controlled attack. The kell offense pressed the attack for most of the game. A few unlucky bounces kept the score from being more lopsided. Game # 1- Rome - 2/15/07 (L 1-4 ) The season started with a tough loss to Rome High School. The game was tied 1-1 at the half. The longhorns were playing tough but the game became more physical than soccer. At the start of the second half, Rome came out with two quick goals. The longhorns were not able to recover from this deficit.
