Here is the game schedule in another format. There still might be need to revise a game or two, but this schedule is as accurate as I can make it for now:

Lastly, remember to get your physical turned in to me by Feb. 24. All athletes are supposed to turn it in on the new forms put out by MSHSAA last summer, so please be sure to get that to me before the first day of practice if you’ve not already turned one in to the school office. Here is a link to the new physical form:

The bad news: due to a miscommunication about the leagues we were trying to sign up for, only one of our teams was assigned a league to play in.

Long story, short… We have 20 girls, eight games, one team. Here’s what we’re doing about it:

1. Any girls who have not yet paid will be asked to give up their indoor roster spot.
2. Any girls who have opportunities to play on another team will be encouraged (but not required) to give up their roster spot.
3. We will divide up the eight games on our schedule between the remaining girls. Most girls will play approximately 6 games instead of 8.
4. Full or partial refunds will be distributed after we settle up with Lake Country.

Sorry for this disappointment. It was an honest mistake between us and the LCS office, who all did what they were supposed to; but because the schedules are now so full, they have no way to reassign our other team into any of the leagues scheduled to begin before the high school outdoor season gets underway.

FOR THE FIRST GAME THURSDAY… McKenzi has to sort out the roster based on the issues listed above, so she will be in touch tonight and Wednesday to do that and then announce who will play in the first game.

If you don’t have Mac’s number, you can reach me at 860-0759, and I will share her number with you.

Thanks… Coach Nurnberg

I will amend the away-game info as I receive it from the other schools.

I will update the exact times and locations for our home games once I receive the track schedules, which are due out before the end of January. As you may realize, we play as many home games at JFK Stadium as we can, but track events take priority and force some of games back over to our grass field. Due to a lack of lights at the grass field, we start grass-field games earlier in the evening.

Here is the link to the schedule:

Due to the large number of soccer players participating in off-season, we are forced to do our sessions separate from the other spring sports. The weight room can’t handle the size of our group. Of course, this is a good problem, but it does require us to change our schedule  from what we discussed at the start of this week.

Here is a generic itinerary of each day at off-season:

 3:10-3:55 PM – Conditioning/Speed/Agility/Technique

• Meet outside the girls’ locker room, where we will decide whether to go inside or outside. Plan on outside activities when wind chills are at or above 40 degrees.

4:00-4:30 PM – Weight Training Long distance runs (up to two miles),

• Tuesdays – Upper body
• Thursdays – Lower body

All players who are not playing a winter sport at school are strongly encouraged to attend off-season training sessions.

A delicious dinner...

All players and parents are welcome to attend our fishing trip to Lake Taneycomo Nov. 20.

We will meet in the Grant Street parking lot at 11 AM and leave by 11:15 AM. Participants are encouraged to carpool; there will not be a bus. We should be on the water from 12:30-3:30 PM and return home by 4:30 PM or so.

I am pleased to announce that Lilley’s Landing Resort in Branson has very generously offered us use of their dock and three or four pontoon boats for our outing! We are asked only to cover the cost of fuel for the boats. They operate a full-service fly and tackle shop, so you will be able to purchase your license and tackle there when we arrive.

Here is a checklist of reminders to do before the trip:

• Obtain a valid Missouri state fishing license.
• Purchase appropriate bait and tackle. Night crawlers and Power Bait are good choices for bait fishermen. Small treble hooks with springs around the shanks are good for Power Bait.
• Bring money and food.
• Dress appropriately. It likely will be chilly.

Tight lines,

Nurnberg

Sophomore Emily Courtney dominated her sideline throughout the district tournament. She scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's district championship match.

The Parkview Lady Vikings defeated Joplin, 2-0, Thursday at Harrison Stadium, a win that delivered the school its first-ever district title in soccer.

Sophomore Emily Courtney put away the game-winning goal in the early minutes of game, pouncing on her own rebound and roofing it underneath the crossbar on the team’s first cornerkick of the night.

Senior Kelsey Loderhose scores with the outside of her foot.

Senior Kelsey Loderhose added an insurance goal less than 10 minutes later, receiving the ball from Courtney and then slotting the ball into the right corner of the goal with the outside of her foot.

While the team created a few more good chances to score, the defense took over, limiting Joplin’s offensive opportunities to a few tense cornerkicks in the second half.

The girls will play the winner of the Class 3 District 11 champion (either Glendale or Nixa) in the sectional game next Tuesday. The time and location of that match have not been determined yet.

The semi-final proved to be a real challenge. Our senior-laden squad had to cope with a feisty Central team after just having been graduated from high school the night before. More than a couple of the girls never really shook off their sluggish start to the game, which was understandable but enervating nevertheless for the Parkview head coach.

The girls persevered, however, and Kelsey Loderhose delivered a career performance, scoring five goals on the night in clinical fashion. Molly Robb added the sixth goal in the last couple minutes of the game, as well as two assists. Emma Chilton also recorded an assist in the game.

Former head coach and Parkview legend Ron Tate shared today that the girls’ team made the district final in 1998 and 1999, losing both games to Kickapoo.

Parkview will face Joplin for the Class 3 District 12 championship 6:30 PM Thursday at Harrison Stadium.

Seniors Kelsey Loderhose and Molly Robb battle for the ball in penalty area versus Neosho May 9.

Parkview received the first seed in the district 12 girls’ soccer tournament, to be held May 14-19 at Central High School’s Harrison Stadium.

The Lady Vikings earned a bye in the first round.  The winner of the first-round game between Carthage and Central (12 PM Saturday) will be Parkview’s opponent in the semi-final match scheduled for 4 PM Tuesday.

Should the girls win the semifinal, they would reach a district final match for the first time in the program’s history. The final is scheduled for 6:30 PM Thursday.

District 12 Girls’ Soccer Tournament Bracket

April 29 – varsity lost, 0-4, at Ozark. The result was disappointing but hardly indictative of where our team is currently at. Keep in mind that less than 24 hours earlier our girls knocked off Kickapoo in a double-overtime track meet of a game. The JV team lost, 0-2.

May 9 – varsity beat Neosho, 5-0. Becca Castillo opened the scoring, and Kelsey Loderhose scored the next four goals. Assists were earned by Emily Courtney, Castillo, Holly Messick, Molly Robb, and Emma Chilton. The JV game was cancelled due to Neosho’s lack of players that night.

May 10 – varsity beat West Plains, 6-0, playing excellent possession soccer along the way. Goals were scored by Becca Castillo (2), Emily Courtney, Holly Messick, Molly Robb, and Mckenzi Payton. Robb, Emma Chilton, and Kelsey Loderhose each notched an assist. JV won, 6-1, finally scoring the goals that they struggled to produce much of the season. [JV goals by Emma Chilton (2), Hannah Roberts, Emma Bagley, and Erica Batson (2).]

May 12 – In an Ozark Conference make-up game from last week, varsity beat Hillcrest, 10-0. The JV game was cancelled due Hillcrest’s recent rash of injuries.

Assists: Emily Courtney (2), Molly Robb, Holly Messick, Olivia Solari, Chilton, and Loderhose.
