Parkview Vikings Soccer

Vikings Open Against Branson Monday

November 3rd, 2008 by Florez 2 comments »

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 by Florez No comments »

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.

Vikings Beat Helias 2-1

October 30th, 2008 by Florez 4 comments »

After coming out a bit flat against Helias in Jefferson City, the Vikings gave up the first goal of the match to go down 0-1. Jon Malter made a ridiculous save in the first half that kept Helias from netting there second goal when he jumped up and backwards as he punched a ball over the crossbar. The Vikings got on the scoreboard in the first half when Dane Knapp played a set-piece from midfield over the top of the Helias defense, for Tim Griffin. Griffin was able to run onto the long-ball and strike it past the keeper for the 1-1 tie. The second goal of the match came from a corner kick when Leland Eckstam hit a “black hole” ball that Morgan Holt was able to get a leg on for the eventual game winner in the 2-1 victory.

Griffin’s goal was his 35th of the season, and his 91st career goal. He is now tied with Patrick Carver in PHS career goals at 91, and is one short of tying the single season PHS scoring record which Carver also holds at 36.

Scoring summary: Tim Griffin (1G) from Dane Knapp (1A), Morgan Holt (1G) from Leland Eckstam (1A)

The Vikings play next in the District Tournament on Monday night (11/3/08). The match is against Branson at Kickapoo, and will be played at 7:00. Parkview is the 3rd seed in the District 11 Tournament, and Branson is 6th. If the Vikings win on Monday night then they would play again on Tuesday night against #2 seeded Glendale (also 7:00 at Kickapoo).

Come celebrate senior night with the Vikings’ 10 seniors and their families: Leland Eckstam, Rudy Fotsch, Tim Griffin, Justin Hansen, Morgen Holt, Trey Kalbaugh, Kyle Kutz, Vance Marlow, Matt Medley, and Darren Shaw. The Tuesday night match against Carthage will be played at JFK, with the JV playing first at 5:30 p.m. and the Varsity squad to follow around 6:45 p.m. Be at the game by 6:30 p.m. so you don’t miss the recognition of each of our seniors (to take place from approximately 6:45 p.m.-7:00 p.m.).

Tim Griffin now stands one goal away from tying Patrick Carver for the all time career goal and point lead, two goals away from holding the record himself. Come out and cheer Tim and the Vikings on in their last two regular season games. The Vikings are 16-6 following incredible years of 17-7-1 and 17-7 with two games left in the regular season.

This match also marks the last JV match of the season. The JV is currently 8-5-3, and look to pick up their 9th win of the season in the finale.
