JDHS junior Kenzie Simonson threw the ball into junior forward Peyton Wheeler, who dropped it back to Simonson. Simonson then chipped it into the West box. The ball bounced off a West defender toward senior forward Milina Mazon, who sidestepped a defender trying to track the touch on the ball and then stepped into a shot to the far post out of reach of West’s keeper.

“It was exciting,” Mazon said. “I finally saw that moment. My coach has been yelling at me to take it so I did and luckily it went in, and I think it got us pretty pumped up in that first half. But we fell a little short today and that’s OK.”

JDHS would have the run of action as they had country wise email marketing list seven shots on goal before West put another attack together as Eagles senior Mia Parish put the last shot of the first 40 minutes on frame, but JDHS’ Muir covered.

A key to the JDHS play was sophomore wingback Alyssa Travis, who earned the team’s Hard Hat Award for responding to coach Matt Dusenberry shifting her to center defensive midfielder. Travis was solid trying to win or contest balls in a position that required more running than her previous spots.

“He asked me to play a new position that I haven’t played since last season,” Travis said. “My mindset was to just play like I haven’t been playing. I have been playing like I’m really stressed out and I wanted to play stress-free. So I just played free and didn’t panic.”

West began to push forward more in the last 40 minutes.
