Using a reshuffled lineup Tuesday at JFK, Parkview beat Waynesville 3-1 in a strong effort. Tanner Bennett started the scoring in the first half, but Waynesville came back to tie when a ball twice was not cleared from in front of the net. In the second half, Brian Otradovec and Blake White each scored. The White goal came after Otradovec was taken down right outside the box. Otradovec put a strong shot on goal which the keeper deflected. White was in position to pound it home, giving the Vikings the lead. Otradovec scored the third goal, putting the game away. Parkview’s offense has been helped by the move of White to the front line during the last two games, and a defense composed of T.J Joy, Jon Bogue, Joe Fairchild, Louis Taylor and Austin Hess played solidly without him, particularly in the second half. As always, Evin Barber made several good saves in the final ten minutes.
Parkview is now 7-5 on the year after splitting with Jackson and Cape over the weekend (Glendale did the same) and will face Joplin on the road Thursday night. Joplin lost 2-1 to Camdenton last night and 2-0 to Glendale last week and will present a good challenge for the Vikings. The junior varsity team lost 1-0 last night on a late goal.
