Powers will collide when Philomath meets Marist.


Byline: CURTIS ANDERSON The Register-Guard

Girls soccer fans in District 5 should circle Monday, Oct. 7, on their calendars.

On that date, Philomath travels to Marist High School for a rematch REMATCH Cardiology Clinical trials–Randomized Evaluation of Mechanical Assistance Therapy as an alternative in Congestive Heart failure–related to use of a portable, electric left ventricular-assist system–LVAS–eg, HeartMate®  of the Warriors' 2-1 loss to the Spartans earlier this season, and the outcome likely will decide the league title.

Those teams already have separated themselves from the rest of the district pack this year, both in the polls - Marist is No. 2 and Philomath No. 5 - and in the minds of the league's other head coaches.

`The addition of Philomath bumps bumps

There is farming (cattle, sheep, corn, and soybeans) and manufacturing (chemicals and machinery).  coach Nick Choat said. `After those two, it's a battle for third.'

Philomath and Central are newcomers to District 5 this season. They join Marist, Cottage Grove, Pleasant Hill, Junction City Junction City, city (1990 pop. 20,604), seat of Geary co., NE Kans., at the confluence of the Republican and Smoky Hill rivers; inc. 1859. The rail, trade, and processing center of an agricultural and dairy area, it grew as the supply point for nearby Fort Riley,  and Elmira to form one of the toughest 3A districts in the state.

But the Spartans, who have won five district titles and finished second twice under coach Jose daSilva, remain the team to beat.

Marist has rolled to a 5-0-0 league mark this year through Monday's win over the Tigers, and the one goal scored by Philomath is the only blemish blem·ish

 on the Spartans' defense. Marist did drop a 2-0 nonleague decision to top-ranked Catlin Gabel on the road last Friday.

`We're a well-balanced team, and so far we've demonstrated the ability to improve with each game,' daSilva said. `We're a possession team, and we like to build our attack from the back with short, crisp passes. When you have technically sound players to pass and receive the ball, it's a great game to watch, and hard to neutralize neutralize

Senior Clare Schwallie, a second-team all-district center/midfielder, is one of the catalysts behind the Marist attack, along with junior Tina Jackson-Berger, a second-team all-district forward.

He is looking forward to establishing a new rivalry with the Spartans, one that has previously sparked fireworks fireworks: see pyrotechnics.

`Our girls know they can compete with Marist, but we haven't developed those rivalries yet,' Williams said. `We were playing on tired legs the first time we met because we had played Catlin Gabel the night before.'

Williams is in his sixth season as head coach, and he said this year's group is `one of the best I've had.' Three all-district players return for Philomath, including junior Maeve Dempsey, senior Bri Kelly and junior Maura Williams. In addition, they have the services of senior Brianna Anderson-Gregg, last year's state champion in cross country.

Cottage Grove made the state playoffs for the first time in school history last year, but it will be difficult for the Lions to repeat what Choat called a `dream year.'

Although senior Samantha Stewart returns as a first-team all-district forward, and senior Andrea Bales is back as a second-team all-district defender, the Lions lost senior goalkeeper Wendy Levings to a torn knee ligament ligament (lĭg`əmənt), strong band of white fibrous connective tissue that joins bones to other bones or to cartilage in the joint areas. The bundles of collagenous fibers that form ligaments tend to be pliable but not elastic. .

`It will be a struggle for us to get back to state this year,' Choat said.

Pleasant Hill and Elmira should be in the battle for third place with Cottage Grove. Both teams return first-team all-district forwards in Falcons senior Ariel Johnson and Billies junior Jeana Bruington. Junction City and Central are both in a rebuilding mode.
