Blue Rage fans were shocked when 8th grader J. Loeshe skated onto the ice in full goaltender pads for the Saturday J.V. game against the Lancers. With regular goalie B. Sawyer under the weather it was Loeshe who stepped up to guard the net.The Lancers scored late in the first period but J. York was able to answer at 5:09 (assist C. Flynn) to end the first period in a 1-1 tie.
The second period saw the Lancers attack hard and immediately score another 3 goals before C. Flynn was able to score at 4:04 (assist J. York). The Lancers snuck in yet another goal to end the second with a score of 5-2.The Lancer scoring drive continued through the third period with another 4 goals being scored. The lone Freeburg goal came with only 25 seconds left to play when B. Hoge was able to break away for an unassisted goal.
Despite the final score of 9-3, Freeburg is to be congratulated on the way they entered into a difficult situation and made the best of it. J. Loeshe made quite a few fantastic saves and is to be commended on stepping up when the team needed it. Great job Jeff!
