Carver, Emory End Season

November 23rd, 2008

Parkview Alumni Patrick Carver (PHS 2005) and his Emory teammates dropped their round of 16 match 2-0, ending not only a stellar season for Emory but Carver’s college career as well. Carver finishes his career at Emory as their #2 all time leading scorer. Carver has not only led Emory in goals and assists in each of the last two years, but he has also been named the University Athletic Association (UAA) “Player of the Year” as both a Junior and Senior.

I could be wrong, but it looks like you can watch of replay of Carver’s last match via the host team’s website. Check it out here.

Carver, Emory in Sweet 16 (DIII)

November 17th, 2008

After beating North Carolina Wesleyan College in shots from the mark, Patrick Carver (PHS 2005) and Emory University move on to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA DIII Tournament. Carver was the second Emory shooter, and the first to make for his team. Emory won the shootout 3-2.

Carver was picked as the UAA co-Player of the Year for the second straight season. He has started all 18 games for the Eagles, scoring 13 goals and adding 7 assists his senior year (33 points). Last year Carver tied the team single season (7) and broke the career record (13) for game-winning goals at Emory. He is currently tied for #2 in career EU goals (50), #5 in career assists with 29; and ranked #2 in career points at Emory (123).

The Eagles, ranked 4th nationally, will play next against Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA on Saturday, November 22.

Last year Parkview’s Josh Florez (PHS 2005) and the Wash U. Bears (St. Louis, Mo) won 16 games and advanced to the NCAA Sectional Finals.

Vikings Open Against Branson Monday

November 3rd, 2008

The Vikings open the District 11 Tournament against Branson on Monday night. The match will be played at 7:00, following the 5:00 Nixa vs. Ozark match at Kickapoo. For Branson, the 6th seed in the District 11 tournament, this marks the first year of high school soccer.

Parkview enters this match with some numbers on the line as well. Coach Clint Nurnberg has 199 total wins as a high school coach at Parkview (both guys and girls combined), which means a win Monday would put him at an even 200. Also Tim Griffin currently has 91 career PHS goals, tied with Patrick Carver for the PHS career goal record. Carver’s single season scoring record is at 36, a number Griffin is currently only one behind at 35 for 2008.

If the Vikings earn the victory on Monday night then they would play again on Tuesday night against Glendale, the 2nd seed of the tournament. The Tuesday night match would be at 7:00 p.m. on the Kickapoo soccer field.

By the way, the pre-district tournament offensive statistics have been collected for soccer in the Southwest Region. At a quick glance I saw a handful of Parkview boys on the list, including Tim Griffin, Matt Medley, Morgan Holt, and Jared Moore (I’m not the one who chose to only post offensive stats, so please don’t shoot the messenger).

Fishback Scores Lone Goal Against Drury

November 2nd, 2008

Springfield’s Drury Panthers beat the Indianapolis Greyhounds on Saturday 2-1. This match was the first round of the GLVC Tournament, and the second time these two teams have played this year. Earlier this year PHS Alumn Brian Fishback (2005) tallied an assist as the Greyhounds won 3-2, and this time Fishback netted Indianapolis’ lone goal in their 2-1 loss to Drury. “Fish” was recently named to to the All-GLVC Second Team for 2008.

Brian Fishback (Parkview 2005) scores in the 66th (pictured) to get the Greyhounds within one again. Indy maintains control in the offensive end, sending a high ball into the box. Drury’s GK knocks it down and Fish is waiting on the far side of the 6 yard box, burying it into the open net.
