The Warrenton soccer team wrapped up the Pacific Tournament by winning the consolation trophy, taking the final two out of three contests. Coach John Schulte says it was an adjustment he made at halftime of the first tournament game that made the difference the remainder of the week. He moved senior Anthony Dewey to forward and switched junior Curtis Buxton from sweeper to stopper. "We changed into a whole different team," said Schulte. "We came out in the second half and took the game over. We were putting the pressure on them in and around the box. Unfortunately, we had a lot of shots that were right at the goalie or were soft enough to pick up." The Warriors concluded with a 4-1 victory over De Soto in the consolation match last Thursday. Four different players scored, as they built a 2-0 lead by halftime and scored two unanswered goals in the final 40 minutes. "Right off the bat we were controlling the play and making passes," said Schulte. "We were moving the ball well and doing what we were supposed to which is great." Juniors Nick Wallace and Shaun Hickl and senior Chris Hertel each scored one goal. Sophomore Luke Hawley and Wallace were responsible for the assists. "Hertel had a lot of opportunities in the box with just him and the goalie," said Schulte. Junior Jakob Junker started in goal, making three saves and allowing one goal through 60 minutes. Junior Kenny Dildine finished the match, making one save. The Warriors had advanced to the trophy round by defeating Winfield 10-0 in the consolation semifinal on Wednesday. Schulte says it was significantly different from a previous meeting with the same team less than a week earlier. "The first time we played Winfield we were pretty stagnant on offense and didn't have much going," said Schulte. "Once we switched and moved Dewey, we came out moving the ball great and we're a whole different team." Dewey and Popp each recorded a hat trick as the Warriors hurried out to a 6-0 lead by halftime. "Dewey is the kind of kid who likes to be around the ball and beat people one-on-one," said Schulte. "Sometimes in the midfield he wasn't able to use his full potential. Now he has more freedomto dribble and create plays." Hawley scowed two goals, while Zack VanDillen and Hertel each scored one goal. Hertel dished out five assists, while Popp had two and Dewey collected one assist. "This time playing Winfield we had tons of opportunities in the box with noone guarding us," said Schulte. Dildine handled goalkeeping duties in the first half, making one save. Junker faced limited pressure in the final 30 minutes, not needing to make a single save in the mercy-rule win. Warrenton didn't fair as well in the opening match on Saturday, Sept. 3, losing 4-2 to the host team. "That first game a tough one," said Schulte. "It was a tale of two halfs. In the first half, we couldn't control the ball or settle it. If it could go wrong, it was in the first half." The Indians established a 3-0 halftime lead and held off the Warriors comeback efforts during the final 40 minutes. Warrenton managed 11 shots on goal, with Dewey and Popp each finding the nets once. Wallace was responsible for the assist.
