On a cool night in Joplin Parkview came out ready to play. The game was intense, with back and forth play all night, and a three yellow cards as well. In the first half Tim Griffin (junior) sent a ball wide to Derek Rosbrugh (senior) who bent in a beautiful cross onto the head of Matt Beckett (senior), who headed the ball back across the face of the goal and over a diving Adam Legg for a 1-0 Parkview lead. A few minutes later Kickapoo earned a deep throw in and the ball was flicked beyond Jon Malter (sophomore) by Heath Melugin and finished into an open net by Skyler Russell for a 1-1 tie at half. The second half showed some increased intensity both on the field and from the fans – as both sets of parents/fans were actively involved in the match. In the about the 60th minute, Caleb Collier sent a long ball into the area and Zach Hay headed it over Jon Malter (sophomore) for the winning goal, 2-1. Parkview had a fantastic chance to equalize a few minutes later when Tim Griffin (junior) broke through two defenders into the box alone. Adam Legg came out to contest, and Tim hit the far post – the ball bounced straight back into the box and Leland Ekstam (junior) hit it hard, but it glanced off a defender and out. In a scrum in the 75th minute in the Kickapoo box Matt Beckett (senior) hit a ball just wide of the left post. In a hard fought match Parkview’s season ends with a 17-7-1 record.

We’ll say goodbye to some fantastic seniors, Matt Beckett, Will Griffin, Derek Rosbrugh, Cody Hodge, Danny Perches, and Karl Fredrickson. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

In a repeat of a semi-final in the district from a year ago in which Joplin ended Parkview’s season, Parkview came out and took care of business in a very exciting match 5-3. Parkview- Goals: Hat-trick by Matt Beckett (one assist from Tim Griffin), goal by Tim Griffin, goal by Matt Medley. Parkview scored early when Matt Beckett sent Tim Griffin out into space. Tim left three defenders in his wake, winding through them, and finished near post, slotting the keeper. A few minutes later Joplin answered on a set piece, a ball from 40 yards bounced into the box and the player (?) running on put it by the keeper. Parkview answered with a goal from senior Matt Beckett, a laser struck from the 18 into the top left corner. In the last two minutes of the half, Matt Medley scored a beautiful goal from the top of the box when he calmly finished with his left foot far post, 3-1 at half. Joplin came out with a vengeance in the second half, scoring two goals and tying up the match at 3-3. A perfectly weighted touch around a defender and into space by Matt Medley allowed Matt Beckett to run on to the ball with the keeper coming out to contest and Beckett finished giving Parkview the 4-3 lead. With time running down Tim Griffin took a throw in and beat a defender down the line to the touch line, he hit the ball hard at the goal and the keeper got a piece, slowing it down, but did not control it. Matt Beckett was there, and tapped it in for the hat trick and the final score 5-3.

This brings the record for this team to 17-6-1 going into the final Thursday vs. Kickapoo. The game is at 6:00pm in Joplin.
