The Vikings defeated the Liberty Blue Jays on Friday night 2-1. The Parkview boys fought hard to move on through the first round of the Kickapoo Shootout Tournament, getting their first goal of the night from Tim Griffin. After the Blue Jays had out-possessed the Vikings in the first few minutes of the match, Matt Medley won a hard tackle at midfield and played a beautiful ball over and through to Griffin. Griffin was able to dribble right at the defender and beat him as he took it into the box himself, beating the keeper with a tap from the outside of his right foot into the lower right side of the netting. The second goal of the match came in the first half as well, when off of a cross Morgan Holt won the ball in the box and laid it off for an oncoming Matt Medley, who finished strong from inside the eighteen. The Vikings gave up a goal halfway through the second half, but overall had the edge on possession, shots on goal, and most importantly: goals scored.

The Parkview Varsity squad was able to right the ship against Nixa on Friday night with a 3-0 victory. The varsity squad was without both Jonathan Malter and Dane Knapp both out due to injury. The defense was spectactular, forcing Rudy Fotsch to only come up with two saves all night. Kyle Kutz, Sam Vigil, Trey Kalbaugh, and Vance Marlow played great as a team. The offense started off early scoring in the seventh minute when Tim Griffin beat two defenders and crossed the ball into the path of an onrushing Jared Moore who easily deposited it into the back of the net. In the 38th minute Tim Griffin sent a ball into space for Jared Moore and Jared struck it to the far post for a 2-0 Parkview lead. The scoring finished in the first half when Tim Griffin danced up the touchline and played the ball back into the box into space for Jared Moore who finished nicely for his first hat trick of the year. This win leaves the Varsity squad at 9-4-0 on the season.
The Junior Varsity match was a battle all the way through, but the Vikings were able to prevail with a 1-0 victory. Keeper Evin Barber earned the shutout by playing aggressive and clean in the back, and the defense anchored by Shane Maloney and Blake White held down the fort in front of Barber. Late in the match, Jordan Houseman found Brian Otradovec on a cross, and Otradovec was able to finish a beautiful shot into the upper ninety. The win puts the Junior Varsity at 4-4-2 on th season.
Without starting keeper Jon Malter, the Vikings went up against the Joplin Eagles and lost 3-2. Following a close match on Tuesday, and with a District match on Friday, the Vikings were forced to lean on their depth Thursday night, with backup Keeper Rudy Fotsch playing well throughout his first career Varsity match in goal. Tim Griffin scored a goal in each half, giving the Vikings a 1-0 lead at halftime, and after falling behind 2-1 midway through the second half, Griffin scored the game tying goal as well. Sophomores Jordan Houseman and Blake White played big minutes on Thursday. Houseman has been logging Varsity minutes on a game-to-game basis out the outside mid position.
The Junior Varsity squad played well defensively in Joplin Thursday night, but were unable to muster much offense throughout the overall match. After giving up a goal about midway through the second half to go down 1-0, Brian Otradovec was able to get his head on a cross to keep it alive before Daniel Vansant ran in to head the ball into the back of the net, tying the game at 1-1. The Vikings were able to get a few more chances after the game was tied, but the match ended tied thanks to resilient play late in the match.
Parkview plays next on Friday against Nixa, a District match.
