As Someone said on Senior Night, Golly, Gee, Willikers

The Lady Pioneers played their annual senior night game tonight at Meneffee Stadium. Seniors Jessie Cooper, Shelby Meier, Elyssa Carmony, Ashley Repka, and Karla Klee were honored in a nice ceremony before they took to the field in their final regular season home game. Oops, Golly, Gee Willikers, I almost forgot Chelsea Landrum.

The Pioneers really controlled the ball for much of the game but would have to settle for the 1-1 tie. The Camels scored their lone goal in the first half while SK’s goal would come with just under 13 minutes in the second half off a direct free kick by Mallory Steele. The game started off innoncent enough but would finish as one of the physical contests that the two teams have seen over the course of the last several years.

On a down note of an otherwise great night, Shelby Meier would leave the game with an unknown knee injury in the second half. Please be sure to send prayers her way as she will be seen by doctors tomorrow.

The girls will have over a week to rest before they take on Villa Madonna in defense of their 18th District Crown at Dixie Heights at 6:00 on October 12th after finishing the regular season with a 7-4-6 record.

Congrats Chelsea on a great career.

Shelby got some good news today; no ligament tears, basically a banged up knee. Here's a shot from last night's action.
