Final Game Summary Loss 4-3 to WSW in OT

In truly heartbreaking and gut wrenching fashion the JV Iroquois lost  in overtime 4-3on Friday night to league champions West Seneca West.  The JV Chiefs played their hearts out and regardless of score the team played brilliantly.  Playing any team with seven more players is diffucult and the Chiefs played aggressive even through their fatigue.  Alex Held lead the way with two highlight worthy goals: first goal on a 2 on 1 opportunity where he knocked his own rebound out of the air to score and his second goal was just a pretty as his quick hands beat the West goalie clean on a breakaway.  Continuing his great play was 8th grader Cam Ellis.  His greasy slick moves against a stout defensive pairing allowed him to find time and space to beat the WSW Indians over the left glove.  Freshman, Jamie Bonn, centered the defensively sound second line and frustrated the Indians top line all night.  The defensive corp of Garret Miller, Patrick Marrone, Owen
Creighton and James Garvey played big minutes and were sensational even while exhaustated.  Not to be forgotten and getting special notice the opposing coach was goaltender Colton DeGrace.  He unbeatable for most of the night.  In the end the Chiefs may have lost on the scoresheet but in the minds of their opponents and fans they were winners.
