The Steelhead (U-11 boys) won their first match of the season against the Roseburg Braves in front of an enthusiastic crowd with both home and away teams well represented in the stands at HSU's Redwood Bowl. Both sides made solid contributions to this sometimes disorganized game while battling a steady spring rain that made the turf somewhat faster than usual.
Posession changed regularly between the Steelhead and Braves with neither side exhibiting a clear advantage; both teams compressed the field of play into a series of one-on-one battles that kept the pace fast and hard throughout the first half.
It was just before the halftime whistle blew that standout midfielder Diego Ramirez connected at the top of the box and sent a clean shot well above the Roseburg keeper to put the Steelhead side out in front.
The second half saw the Braves trying hard to equalize but falling short against a Steelhead side that gained a bit more coherence and ultimately held their edge to the final whistle and well deserved 1-0 victory.
As long as the Steelhead side can continue to pass well and capitalize on offensive drives, this season looks promising.
