(Story by Coach Shannon Grable)
Varsity record: 2-5 overall (1-1 conference)
     The game started out as a defensive struggle with both sides creating some opportunities, but nothing going into the net. However, Chillicothe would start the scoring on a set piece just outside the Leblond penalty area. Grant Peterson played a nice ball across the top of the box to Miles McLemore who slammed it home just outside the arms of the Leblond keeper to make the score 1-0 Hornets. The game would stay 1-0 in favor of Chillicothe at halftime.
     To start the second half Leblond showed the adjustments they made by attacking with long passes to the outside. On two separate occasions the Golden Eagles were able to find unmarked players on the backside of the defense with nicely placed crosses to take a 2-1 lead. A mis-played throw in led to a 3-1 lead by the Leblond squad. Danny Sommers would convert 2 of the shots with Daniel Cobb scoring on the third shot.
     The Hornets looked to get back on track but a penalty kick was awarded to the Golden Eagles that led to a 4-1 lead. The penalty shot was converted by Danny Sommers to give him a hat trick for the night. However, the Hornets would not go down quietly. A beautifully played free kick from 35 yards out by Laine Saunders just made it under the crossbar and over the leaping Eagle keeper to make the score 4-2. The Hornets would go on to have many opportunities on goal, but they were unable to capitalize on multiple chances in front of the net. The Chillicothe Boys never quit playing and continue to play until the final whistle.
     The team is back in action at home against the Lafayette Fighting Irish at 4:00 pm at Danner Park. Varsity contest to be followed by JV.
