Past Seasons
Chapter Titles
What the Heck ???
Each game is like a new chapter in a book. Each game is part of the entire story of the season but is also a new beginning, a fresh start. Each player writes part of the book in a new chapter every time she steps upon the field. If you write a bad chapter on day, you have a chance to fix it and come out and 'write' a better chapter the next. The entire season then becomes the book we write each season. Will the book have a happy ending ??? Will you as a player add good parts to each chapter ???
We have taken to name each chapter of the season ... Thus far we have ...
#1 Lost on the Appalachian Highway ... A long trip, getting lost on the
way
we win at Eastern Brown 2-0.
#2 Asleep at the Wheel ... A loss at Lynchburg 0-3 on the first
day of school, again we got lost again and played as if we were asleep.
#3 The Other Woman - Katrina ... a tie at Unioto 0-0 as we
played only one half on a flooded field in a downpour.
#4 Home Sweet Home ... a win over Jackson 3-0, we used the new locker
rooms,
Our first home game this season.
#5 In Sickness and in Health ... down by two goals and down by half the
team
feeling sick ... We come back to score six ... We beat Fairfield Union 6-2
#6 Dog gone it !!! ... Playing away as an underdog to Bexley we come out
hard and play a good game but this dog loses its bite and goes down to
defeat 0-4
#7 The New Norm ...Playing at home at Minford we weather Minford's initial
rush
to sneak ahead 2-1 at half. Minford who always plays us tough would not go
away. We hang on to win 4-2. We are beginning to play hard every game !!!
#8 Ready or Not !!! ... Playing at home versus Bishop Ready the Pioneer
ladies come out
strong and take control early and go on to win 4-0.
#9 Any Port in the Storm ... The Pioneers struggle with the Cruisers
of Groveport.
ZT goes up quickly 2-0 against Groveport and then go into "Cruise" mode.
Groveport does not go quietly as the Pioneers finish the game a 3 nil
victor.
#10 Katrina Returns ... We thought Katrina was behind us ... However, the
sprinklers
were left on over night and the field was a quagmire ... The Pioneers
overcome the
elements and Unioto to win 6-1.
#11 Glimpse of the Future ??? Playing with only 2 seniors the
Pioneer Ladies
young talent leads the way as we tie Hillsboro 1 - 1.
#12 Half Empty or Half Full ??? Senior night saw the Pioneer Ladies play
the game of two halves. Not able to find the back of the net in the first
half the Senior Pioneers
were determined to take the game over. Each senior tallied a goal in the 4
nil victory over Logan.
#13 We are 4H ers... Going down 1 nil at the 15 minute mark the
Pioneer Ladies
dig deep and show the HEART champions are made of and rally and score two
before half.
The HEALTH and fitness of the Pioneers was tested and we over came as
the team work HAND in HAND with each other.
An early second half crushing HEADER off a corner kick buried in the upper
90
also buries Jackson and wins the game. Jackson scores late Final 3-2.
#14 Who is going to show up ??? The Pioneers played two different halves. The first half was void of emotion and we squeaked out a 3-1 lead. The second half was full of sound and fury and we scored two goals in two minutes and ended the game 8-1 victors. WHO shows up ready to play each game makes a huge difference.
#15 Light my fire ... The pilot light on the Lady Pioneers furnace was
nearly out ... the Minford Falcons came out flying high and took over the
game. The Pioneers hung around
for most of the game but could not get ignited and the Falcons soared
tonight giving ZT a 1-3 loss.
#16 A Bad Cross is a Good Shot !!! The banged and dinged up ZT team
traveled to
Amanda for the last game of the season. The ZT defense held strong
throughout the first
half as the ZT offense struggled to find the net. The half ended 0-0. The
second half
found the ZT offense much more effective and a searching cross ended up in
the
back of the Amanda net. The game ended in a 3-0 victory for the Pioneers
The regular season is now over ... Now on to the tournament !!!
#17 Pioneer Pride ... The game could have been settled in the first
minute as ZT missed
three good chances to put the game away. However, the Falcons soared first
with a
PK that put them up one to nil at the 25 minute mark. With only 4 minutes to
go to half
Maradona shows the way and ZT ties the score 1 - 1 at half. The Pioneer
score half way through the half on a PK themselves to ice the game. The
Pioneers weathered the
Falcon storm and show Pride in their 3rd comeback win this season.
#18 Eastern Brown ... The final chapter of a book can be a sad thing or a
happy one.
Our final chapter is not a happy one. We fall to the Brownies 1-2. It was
not our best night
fer sure.
HOWEVER, the book was a great one this year. We came up one chapter
short, but
in this we take away a desire and a promise that next year our book
will not end
in this way.
