[Music] Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the fourth home game of the 2025 boys varsity soccer season for the Long Spartans. Tonight, it is the Northampton Blue Devils. Is the match up for the guys tonight. same amount of wins as
002we had losses last season as it's a very strong team headed into a nice match up. Uh rumors going around West that they've only gotten better yet looking to get their first win of the season. It's going to be a tough match up for Eong Meadow tonight. Like I said previous, these two teams wins and losses line up pretty evidently with Northampton being one of the biggest powerhouses in soccer and Western Mass as of recent years with a great year, great span of years of junior, sophomores Like I said previously, Spartans look to get their first one of the season. Starting out the season 0 and4 couple losses coming to Pope Francis All High School who were ranked number one in the state last year where they suffered three nothing defeat with a been an
003game for the guys overall few just conceding some goals that they really shouldn't have been conceding there. It's a lot of individual players on this squad that are looking to figure out even this late in their high school careers looking to build chemistry and make a run and just get it all back together towards the end of the season here. especially it's going to be still troubles as Jack Walsh and Keegan Dunan still absent from the game both with injuries as a Northampton goalie takes a touch in his own box a little shaky there as tipped over the head of number 11 finds a feed of number seven gets tested here on his back line steps in win isn't able to turn into space here as Northampton get a good strong chase here. Here's Jason
004Canour skies over the net. Ga tested almost immediately. As like I said in previous games, this Eastong back line has been killed by through balls consistently all year long. It's been they're kryptonite without Pat with those long legs. Nobody's able really to get there to reach their legs out and stop those balls from coming in and those players from coming in on goal. I mean, and here's number seven. This is Canour on the left side here for North End of the Blue Devils. He'll cut into his right side. He'll play 24. It's an inaccurate pass though, but it will fall out to I believe that is 18. 18. Taking a few touches at the top of the box here. Certainly a small midfield for the Northampton Blue Devils. No shade to number 25, but he
005looks to be around 5 foot. and to go along with number 24 who might even be shorter. Gar claims in his own box there the back line for the Spartans tonight. Freshman Jason Bette starts at right center back for the Spartans along with junior defender Jackson Russian. Colon Sha at left back and per usual Patrick Zudek playing that right back role for the Spartans here and intercepted by Antonio Bardi in the midfield. Spartans have uh room to play but was intercepted by Mil Northampton. Nordon or Cantor, sorry. Wretch's going to step, get ahead on that one. Canour is going to hit it back into Patrick Zudek now. Wiiaga steps, doesn't get any ball player. Here's Canour as he's off on that left flank. You tell he went with a shot there just of his first
006touch as Spartans do well in some in a part of their game that they've certainly been trying to better as Jackson Wretchen. We saw this pretty frequently in the all games. Those low free kicks have kind of killed them as they were intercepted quite often. Jackson Russian has taken like 100% of East Meadows free kicks from their own half as that'll be cool played in on goal but the Northampton goalie Salem Gregory is going to come off his Northampton going to look to build out of the back here. Here's Gregory Lowry on that left side. Tested by Zudek. He boots it up a set steps. It's a good step from the freshman there. Zud brothers link up Earl Wakiaga steps at defensive mid alongside Antonio Barardi. Trouba Kula as it's kicked out of bounds by
007the Blue Devils. tipped over the head of Shelli. Now's going to look to hang on to it as he's falling over there as he's fouled by Tate Norveli with a bit of room at the top of the box there. He's around the 20 yd line now. Blocked by the North Fer walk is going to volley it, but it's going to be far left wide. has certainly just imagined himself as Paul Pogba wearing a Juventus jersey. is going to play over the head with his teammates, attackers on their right wing side as Jackson Russian shields the ball for to go out of bounds for the Spartans. It's a noka goal kick. dives in and he'll win it for the Spartans here as he does really well as he's going to turn into space. Unfortunately losing it
008once again to Canour Canour in the middle of the field. Wretching steps who'll win it for the Spartansville once again on the leftovers falls over to Northampton here. See, McN looks to play Canour on goal, but he's off sides once again. Clock stopped here with 3251 to go. Most likely be a problem with the And we're back in action as Wretchen's going to take the goal kick per usual. It's going to fall out to around the 35 in the region of Philip Zudek. Wakiaga with a little bit of pace uh room in the midfield. Antonio Vardi is going to play Ryan Kula on that left side as he mess one defender. The play Wakiaga back. Shot fired in. No big problems there for Salem Gregory. It's a second second shot or Lucky has taken from
009around the 25 yd line tonight whiffs and Cantor with a bit of space on that left side. Now he's like to pace himself through on goal. He's going to take a great touch into that left side and it'll be cleared out by Jackson Rush. Zudac with a bit of room there. unfortunate touch as it goes out of bounds as it's a long throw as bet tested on his back line and he'll do well as he clears it out to the left side of the field. Throwing for the Blue Devils now Lowry on the throw in for the Blue Devils. He'll chip it over and it will hit the field goal post. Be out of play. He's looking for Zud. lays it off to Mccoan. Push it up. Another header for McGan there as he's going
010to look to contest and win that one. He's got Barardi as that one's going to fly into there once again to Northampton. A players clash for that one. Not great communication from the Blue Devils right there. Zud takes a touch backwards as gonna play his back line. Jackson Russian. Good touch by Triez. He's going to take some touches in the space here, but One back by Northampton. Gregory can pose plays right back there. Shabelli with space. Mccoan wide open or sorry Zudek wide open on that right side but unfortunate loss of the ball for the Spartans there as Whoever are going to look to counterattack here. Here's Wil McNal. Canour header goes in. It's going to hit the field goal post. Header sent in there by Johnny Neil. Uh Duffy there. had some good power
011on it. Wasn't able to put it on net though. 24 in the midfield with a bit of room here. his midfield wide open and Canour is going to take a touch in a space but it's too big. Arsa gets there first. Wiiago looks for the give and go with Zudek. Some good skill by number three on Northampton. It's going to get by one but Shabelli's wide open as he's going to play Ryan Ken on goal. It's a great ball on that left side. Ryan now he'll lay it off to Rick Hogan and it's one nil to the Spartans. Joe Mogan with his second goal of the season assisted by Ryan Kula. It was a great ball from Lucas Chaveveli and the Spartans lead one nothing against Northampton. And we are back for the second half
012of action of Eastong at 01 Northampton nil as Lucasy looking to lead an attack here early into the second half. Just the second time this season, the Spartans have led their first coming against Westside where they blew the one- nothing lead to ultimately lose 2-1 due to an own goal. Intercepted by Barard around the 45 yd line there as Lerno is going to press Salem Gregory. Here's McN as he'll play Cantor through on goal, but he is off sides. Kind of theme for the number seven on Northampton tonight. Off sides approximately about three times. Most recent one erupting anger into the fans of Northampton. But Eastong Meadow have been able to hold their line pretty well tonight according to Lino. Is that one sent up to find the feet of Lerno? He's going to tip
013that one off to Lish Valley, but a little too much power on it. Clocklin He'll find Nor in the midfield. Intercepted by TbaNo with a few guys on his back. Held on to it for a good minute. Good hecking there, but ultimately losing it again for lays it off to Ryan Kula. Ryan with a great skill as he'll get by one. Another man on his back here. Ryan Kula. Ry looking for the cross as he'll send flying. He's tripped up. You saw me. A great attack created by Ryan Kula. Ultimate leads to nothing. Unfortunate for the Spartans. Look out. Ryan really linked up there and Ryan was able to create space for himself. Wretching steps a bit of room there for Rivers unable to make anything out of it though. Ball will be sent back
014in. Ryan cool finds his Ryan cool as he won't get good foot on that one. Here's Mlaclin Nor. It's been great tonight for Belertown. Great player. Gretchen clears it out per usual. Armani Rodriguez is on the end of that one. We're going to header it to his North Pan teammates. That ball crossed in clear out by Jason Mette. Foul called on Eong Meadows Lucas. Interesting call there by the referee. And here's Nor on the end of the set piece. See what Northampton can do here. Chipped in. Ryan will watch it go out. set clears it off to his left God. >> Whoa. And a huge challenge in as I believe Wretch sllicked up a bit there. Rivers gets taken out. Definitely not intentional from the SW meadow center back, but comes Rivers after getting by.
015Interesting set piece tactic here as that one sky over for a field goal. dug in move the Spartans forward. Good pass, but Zud won't be able to get there in time and he'll go out of bounds for a Blue Devils throw in. Left winger sent through with a bit of space. He's chased down by Jason Mette. Still holding on to the ball here. Is it off? And I believe it went out of bounds. Nor with a great pass to McLaclin as he'll take on Ryan Koul on that right side. Clears it out. Turn look to chase him down. Press up on Taylor Gregory. Here's McN cleared out initially. Another chance for Northampton here. Ball sent in. Jason clears it out. You saw his defense does well there. Nor look to bring the attack back alive,
016but Ryan Ka clears it out to around the 40 yd line. says no to the clearance presses up. Here's Bone. Plays it off to Duff as it's a good chance for the Northampton Blue Devils, but it won't be capitalized on as that was Kai Webster on the end of that ball. On comes Alex Mahana. Out comes Antonio already. A solid shift from him. Sha vers Mahana challenges in well There. Out comes Justin Bur. He was the one at the end of that one. thing I said before that it was someone else. But that attacking chance I meant. Here's Duff. Duff sends that one in. Going to give Gar a little bit of trouble, but in the end, nothing really there. All set up. Turn it with a bit of room at the top. Here's Bone.
017Through ball played through, but Jackson Russian learned from the mistakes previously in the season. He's sent to the ground by Gretchen off the foul. Great pass from Lucelli. Great touch as Alex Mahada going to skill his way through these two guys, but unsuccessful at doing so. Bone sent through on the right wing here. Going to be one-on-one with Jackson Rush. firing the shot, but no problem because it's far right wide. Out comes Lerno. In comes the goal scorer, Joe Mccullan. Canour going to win this one back as he will be fouled by Philip Sudek. No card on that play. And it's the same setpiece tactic as before from Northampton as Joe Kogan looks to give a little insight to Nolan Garska. It's definitely an interesting and unique one because they're blocking the ball before the
018actual set piece is token. might be signifying that a shot could be taken here. Busone. A little fake mess up attempt by Northampton. Definitely an interesting tactic there. Something I've never seen before. No one chipped over the back line of Eastong Meadow and Bone's going to put a finish on the end of that one. Sha won't be able to clear it out and Northampton will equalize with 25 minutes to go in the second half. And look to avoid and Esau Metal look to avoid what they've fallen victim to so much so far this season. They failed to keep the momentum in their favor. It's just one kick from Sam Busone that flips the whole script of this game and it's now 1-1. Here's Canour with a bit of room. Shot fired in and it's top
019right bins. 2-1 to Northampton in East Meadow lose their lead and draw in the matter of minutes. Two backto back goals from the Blue Devils there. One coming from Cantor and one coming from Bone. And the Blue Devils take a 2-1 lead away from home. You saw that going to look to crawl their way back into this one after going down to a onegoal deficit. Oh, please. That one shipped up over the back line of Eastong Meadow. Canour with a flick over the head of Jason Met as going to look to put this one away. And yes, he will. It is 3-1 to Northampton. An absolute disaster for East Song Meadow after once again a great start to the game, conceding three straight in a matter of 10 minutes. Goal scored by number seven Jasper
020Cantor. Canour the brace tonight. Looking to get another one on the score sheet. An unfortunate 10 minutes for the Spartans there. >> Boot up like to put this one away. And here comes McD. Sorry, that was McN there. But it off sides. It'll go out of bounds for throw. >> Ball launched out of bounds by Jackson around the 40. Good touch in the space. A bunch of room in the midfield for Nor there. Dancing through a few defenders here. Find space for Eong Meadow. Get something going. Relay the spark that you had. for 11 saved by GSK at the top of the box. JY could have put that one away. Great turn there by Tate Nor to build up another Northampton attack. Just >> boot up in there. Antonio Vardi going to look to come
021down with this one. Steps and he's going to build up for the Spartans here. >> Here's Colin Dunan with a bit of room in the midfield. coincidentally falls to the feet of Luca Shabelli. Shabelli switches the field to Ryan Kula to recreate the goal they scored earlier. Kula fires the shot, but it's a little low. No problems there. >> Goalkeeper. And here he comes on the left side. This is McNarson comes off his line a bit to make the save but it's blocked by comes Zane Polar and Ames for Northampton. That one's going to fall into the midfield. Nor with a bit of room unable to cut by swing that'll link up as Shabelli looks to play. unsuccessful as it just falls out to Sam Gregory sent over the back line of Eong Meadow. No
022problems for Wakiaga. shipped over. Garca here. No problems there. Here's Ryan. He takes down that touch and a great skill there. He's going to look to find space here. Nor gets a foot on it, but Ryan Kula keeps on going. Joe sent through, but he will be off sides. The flag goes up. Off comes Sudak. Ryan Cool. He's going to take a space in the midfield here with an advance for the Spartans. Here's Canour. He's already got two goals tonight. He plays Zane Polar. Zane Polar once again. Back on the ball here. McN defenders. Just let him walk right through. Someone needs a step there for me. They just let him run right through with no problems. presses up against Garose under pressure. He is waiting to come in for the Blue Devils. Bron Zoom
023Burie and the number 10 stalker Polar makes a run. We're going to receive it from Charlie. played his fair share of minutes tonight. Not in the starting lineup though for the Blue Devils. I feel like every he's in majority of the time here. Spartan split there. Here's Duffy. Dun looks a bit of attack. Joe Mogan set through on goal. That one rolls out to around the 20. It's Joe Maki. Gets a tuck. He's going to send it in. Oh, and it's just wide left. Nearly a second of the night. An interesting decision in net by Salem Gregory as he let Mogan travel. Shot fired in by Logan Lerno. Swung. Two backto-back chances there as they're just starting to reapply the pressure onto Northampton here. Was a hard angle there for Joe Molan. nearly perpendicular with
024the goal. Antonio Bardi with a good amount of space in that midfield. He plays it off to Philip Zudek who's playing left back right now. Here's Bouson. Bone with a good amount of skill there, but taken away by Jackson Wretching who looks to you talking about Spark again. He makes a run in behind but be taken away. Ryan Kula and I would like to track track this one down with the help of Colen Dunigan. Antonio Vardi steps in. He'll win it for the Spartans and it'll be Philip Zudek. Zudek looks to hold on to it. Great low center of gravity there. The number 19 on Meadow Kula. Great ball to Logan Merno. looks to get it back. He turns into the face of goal with some great skill as well. with a composed turn there.
025Presses hop to just force another mistake from this Northampton back line like he did with Gregory just a few moments before. That ball sent through. Jackson Re's going to be there though. He'll shield it for Nolan Garska. Ryan cool not able to get a phone on that one. around the 50 yard line. Brian got a touch on that one, but doesn't really lead to anything other than the feet of Stalker. Sudex steps, but he falls on the ground. looks to get by. And Zud still on the ground here. Zodax sent that one in. sent through, but bet will get there first for the Spartans. And he will be called off sides. We got a free kick. Wretching with a bit of time clears it out to Ryan Kula, but he won't get the touch he
026was looking for. And it'll roll out to the north back line as they look to build up another attack here. Stalker through and Jason just gets in the right place at the right time and he'll intercept that one. And another off size call that one on Jasper Canour for that's been a couple times tonight. Conor Dennis, Dominic Demente, and Ryan Sugar set to come in here. And in they come and out comes Shabelli, Barard and Sha. set looks to clear it out. Not the touch he was looking for there as wretched steps. No nonsense. Boots it up to the other side as he might be tested here. Joe Mogan looks to take a touch here in a late offsides call. Refinely had some Had to think about that one. Tate Nor will get booked here
027with a yellow card. Not sure what he did or what he said, but most likely said something to the ref or I'm pretty sure he got booked. But he will stay on the field. And a little miscommunication here from Northampton as they don't know who they're seven in and seven out. It seems to be another disappointing night for Reong Meadow here as they trail by two. Just a few minutes left in this one. A loss tonight would lead them to be 0 and Five. Gretchen steps. He'll take it away. Some good room in the midfield here for the Spartans. He's going to try and find Ryan Shug. You saw I'm going to press Norson and Greg Gregory able to get that one out. Here's Ryan Kula. Here's D. Clemente on the left wing. It'll be
028taken away as he'll get me on that uh left side. Here's Jason on the long throw per usual for the Spartans. Dunan going to get ahead on that one initially. He's going to look to get the second touch in or maybe even a shot fired in on net, but it'll be cleared out by Northampton. Here's the set. I don't know. He might have been according to the line though. He was not He was past the halfway point. Nor he would have been through on goal. Offside stopped him from doing so. Set. Play a little ping pong here. Here's Lerno. He is. He's gonna send him through once again, but off sides again for Jasper Canour. Common team for him tonight, although he has scored two for Northampton. stop as he looks to push his way
029through. We'll just follow Kan presses once again. He'll take it off of Owen Mccclaclin. Joe Mogan heads or tips off. Some room for Logan Materno as he looks to smash it bottom left, but it's wide. A great opportunity for the Spartans to score and maybe a jump start to crawl their way back, but it is the end of the game. Final score, North Hemp three, Song Meadow One.
