Bishop Chatard beat Heritage Christian 3-1 this past Thursday evening. The Trojans jumped out to a fast start and were able to score on an unsavable shot from 12 yards out. The Eagles continued to work hard and were rewarded with a goal from Graham Allgood. Graham was able to slip past Chatard's back line and slip a pass from Sam Hall past Chatard's goalie. The score was 1-1 at half. Both teams came out strong to start the second half. The Eagles had a good goal scoring opportunity early but the keeper made a nice play on the ball. The Trojans broke the 1-1 on a header off of a free kick. The third goal came a few minutes later as a Chatard player was able to hit a well angled shot that hit the post and slipped in. The loss brings Heritage's record to 4-5-2.
This was a great learning experience for us. I was glad to see that we had the mental toughness to come back strong after getting down 1-0. It was one of those games where the first team to score in the second half goes on to win the game. Hopefully we will be able to get that first goal in upcoming games when the game is tied at half-time. We will continue to work on possession and gear up for our rematch with Chatard in the first round of the city tournament.
