Paris Danger 1 – 3 Jackson Rush

By Kristen Mitchell

The 99 Lady Danger travelled to Jackson for scrimmage action against Jackson Rush this past weekend, and despite an early goal from Sophie Carter the physical Rush managed to pull through with 3 goals and win the game.

The Danger got at The Rush from the first whistle and Sophie Carter fashioned a dangerous cross to Riley Browning which brought solid defending to keep the scores level. After three or four surges forward the Danger managed to break the deadlock, Sophie Carter crashed a 30 yard effort into the bottom corner on a direct free kick.

As the half wore on the Rush gradually wore down the Danger backline and forced Chynna Hass into proving why she is one of the top keepers in the age bracket. Eventually they found a breakthrough and scored what the Danger girls will call a sloppy goal!

The second period was all Rush offense, while the Danger defended solidly lead By Sam Millette, Giovanna Owen and Kaylynn Jarnigan. With seconds remaining, a concentration lapse allowed the Rush to go 2-1 up.

As the game was only a scrimmage the two teams agreed to play 3 periods of play. The final period was all Danger as the girls dressed in Red shirts and shorts piled on the pressure, Gracie Clayton showed her dribbling skills on several occasions which brought great success down the right and left flank’s. Again with time expiring The Rush scored with a 20 yard strike which flew into the bottom corner of Chynna Hass’ goal.

Danger Head Coach Sean Fraser simply said ‘we just let it get away from us, but we have learned that we have to concentrate and work for the whole game, That will help us when we get to competitive match play’

The Danger slip to 3-2-1 on the season and will host a round robin classic this weekend at Memorial Park in Paris, TN. They will entertain Murray MC Elite and Clarksville Impact. Games are scheduled to begin at 10am.
