Tigers Fall to Mustangs in Conference Clash



On Monday in Rock Springs the RS Tigers and the NC Mustangs battled for the top of the 4A West Conference. It was a very close and physical game. It saw both teams have chances in the first half but both go into halftime scoreless. The Mustangs got the lone goal in the match in the 55th minute. This goal ended a 3 and 1/2 match stretch where the Tigers had not been scored on by their opponents. Even with some legitimate chances late in the second half the Mustangs were able to hang onto the win. This places NC currently at the top of the conference and the Tigers tied with Green River for second place. The Varsity record falls to 4 - 3 - 0 and 3 - 1 - 0 in conference. The Man of the Match; Luke Aust (superb play as always).

Earlier in the afternoon the JV Tigers scored twice in the first half against the young Mustangs and survived an own goal to defeat NC by a score of 2 to 1. The JV Tigers record is currently 5 - 1 - 1.

Up Next for the Tigers: Wednesday JV RS Tigers vs JV GR Wolves - 5:00pm at Crossroads. Thursday Varsity RS Tigers at Varsity GR Wolves - 5:00pm at Zehawi Field in Rock Springs.

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.
