Tigers Back in the Win Column versus Powell

On Saturday in Worland the Rock Springs Tigers took on the Powell Panthers. This match saw the Tigers open sluggishly and fall behind Powell at the half one to nothing. The Powell goal was scored off a free kick. Tyler Wilkinson the Tiger freshman keeper making his first varsity start just could not get to the free kick. The Tigers came out on fire in the second half scoring in the first minute after halftime when Riley Yerkovich passed to Erick Mata who rocketed the ball to the bottom left corner. Fifteen minutes later, in the 56th minute the Tigers found net again when Tevin Beaver collected a pass from Garrett Hay on a through ball and Tevin placed the ball between the keepers legs. The third and final score for the Tigers was from Storie Ratcliff who also was assisted by Garret Hay. Ratcliff's goal came in the 76th minute to ice the non conference game for Rock Springs. This win improves the Varsity record to 5 - 4 - 0. Man of the Match; Garrett Hay (2 assists and great offensive work).

Earlier in the day the JV Tigers played against the Powell Panthers. The Panthers struck first for an early lead of one to zero. The Tigers scored late in the first half to even the score before the break. Right before the end of regulation the Tigers scored again from a set piece to take the 2 to 1 victory. The JV record now stands at 7 - 1 - 1.

Spring Break and Schedule Changes

The games versus Green River that were originally scheduled during our Spring Break have been re-scheduled. We will now have the JV game on March 30 at 5pm in Green River with the Varsity Game being March 31st at 5pm in Rock Springs. We still have our two home matches against the Casper schools (KW and NC) the first weekend of spring break (4/3, 4/4). These matches will be very important for our seeding at regionals. The team also is scheduled to practice on Monday and Tuesday of spring break, but will get the rest of the week off. Please make your family plans so that the can coincide with the team plans. The changes to the game schedule and the practice schedule have been changed on their own links, see the links to your right.

1st Practice is Monday

Monday March 8th will be the first practice for the 2010 edition of the RSHS Tiger Soccer Team. The practice will be from 4:00pm to 6:00pm and will be held at the football field behind White Mountain Elementary field. All players need to remember their paperwork (physical, activities release, emergency card and proof of insurance) and their equipment (soccer cleats, shin guards, outdoor clothes and water). In the case of inclement weather, could we please have the students listen to the announcements at school or contact Coach Atkinson at the high school on Monday after lunch (room 304a).

Rivalry Games Postponed

Due to the snow and the inability to prepare our fields we had to postpone both the Varsity and JV matches with Green River earlier this week. These games will be re-scheduled at the earliest chance that we can fit it into our schedules. We are still hopeful that we will be able to play our next two home games against Natrona County on Friday April 3rd - JV - 3:00pm and Varsity 5:00pm and against Kelly Walsh on Saturday April 4 th - JV - 10:00am and Varsity 12:00pm.
