This week's scores

Coopers over Bigfoot 9 - 8
Coopers over Linfield 14 - 12
Huron over Eugene 7 - 3
Huron over Bigfoot 14 - 8

Bigfoot hangs tough for 3 quarters but falls to Huron 16-8

From the final score, you wouldn't think that with about 5 minutes to go in the third quarter the game was tied 7-7 after Huber scored on a man up opportunity and Sanford tallied his second of the day with a diving goal from the wing... but it was. This game was hard fought but in the end Huron had a lot more in the tank than 'foot did. It's likely the tough contest on Saturday played a part in the outcome, especially the way the game played out down the stretch. Still, at moments this weekend 'foot showed it can play with anyone in our league, so assuming all the new players continue to gel, we should be looking sharp come tournament time (if we get in)!

Goals:
Hooton 2, Sanford 2, Huber 2, Tilson 1, Kavanaugh 1

Bigfoot falls to Coopers in final moments 9-8

After leading 7-3 midway through the 3rd quarter Bigfoot ran out of gas, and league leading Coopers capitalized on a series of penalties rallying to defeat the 'foot 9-8 with the winning goal coming with about 3 minutes left in the game. In a losing effort Kyle Virding led Bigfoot with five points (1g and 4a) and Dave Sanford added four (3 g and 1a) and first year goaltender Josh Azevedo was spectacular in goal with several point blank saves.

Goals:
Virding 1g 4a, Sanford 3g 1a, Hooton 1, TIlson 1, Shimmel 1, Hodge 1

Bigfoot stunned by Linfield 12-6

Bigfoot's 2010 debut featured a ton of new players and that said, a bit of a need to gel more as a team... Linfield had picked up a bunch of guys from Western Oregon who really took it to the older Bigfoot squad and pulled away in the second half.

Goals: Shimmel (2), Hodge, Sanford, Hooton, Virding, one more not sure...
