The Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé Crimson Bears boys played at Railbelt Conference rival Colony in Palmer on Friday and Saturday without falling to the state-ranked Knights.
The JDHS boys played even with one of the state’s best teams, earning a 2-2 tie on Friday and a 1-1 draw on Saturday. JDHS is 5-0-2 overall and leads the Railbelt at 2-0-2. Colony is 9-0-2 overall and 1-0-2 in the Railbelt.
Friday’s game was played on a windy pitch.
The Crimson Bears scored two goals in the first half for the 2-0 lead.
JDHS senior Ahmir Parker crossed a ball in to country wise email marketing list freshman Bryce Haygood for the first score.
“The second one was a free kick from about 30 yards out,” JDHS coach Gary Lehnhart said. “Kai (senior Kai Ciambor) hit a really beautiful shot.”
Lehnhart said the Knights scored a goal five minutes into the second half, “and then we kind of went back and forth for a while and they scored one late to tie it up.”
In Saturday’s game, the sides went scoreless in the first half and the Crimson Bears lost junior center back Jesper Bennetsen to an unspecified injury.
“So we moved Ahmir back to center back and put Kai up top,” Lehnhart said. “And he got loose on kind of a one-on-one and scored a nice goal to make it 1-0.”
