Exeter 14 Kennebunk HS 2
Exeter, NH, Wednesday, April 6th
- In their first game of the season, and only the 2nd time the team has been
outside since returning from spring vacation, the BIG
RED overwhelmed Kennebunk HS by a score of 14-2. As expected, it was
very sloppy play on the part of both teams for most of the first quarter,
which ended with Exeter ahead only 1-0. However, with Travis Glennon
and Brett Davis dominating faceoffs, and the offense starting to click,
the score by halftime had Exeter with a comfortable 7-1 advantage. Leading
the way offensively were the Scalise boys Michael and Mark.
Game ball winner Michael
Scalise finished with 5 goals
and 4 assists, while 9th grader Mark contributed an amazing 4 goals
and 1 assist in his Exeter debut. Also having big days offensively were local
products Jon Higgins (2g, 2a) and Travis Glennon (3g, 1a). The
defense was almost impenetrable, and on the rare occasion Kennebunk generated
a quality shot, the goalkeeping trio of Matt Harrigan, Eric Hassett,
and Alec Shand made the save. All the long poles played well, and d-middie
Kirk Bansak was especially effective both defensively and on ground
balls. The coaches were also particularly pleased with the riding and clearing
aspect of Exeter's game, especially considering how little it has been practiced.
To Kennebunk's credit, they never stopped working hard, and they have had
even less outdoor practice time than Exeter. There is still much work to do
at all aspects of the game, but this was certainly an encouraging start to
the new season. Click
