'Beach wins league title





Harbor Beach beat Marlette 3-0 to claim the GTE league title and finish the regular season at 20-0-1 overall. Here is the game report from coach Phil Bowen:
Dustin Mazure placed the Pirates on the scoreboard first. Scott Grekowicz sent a long pass from the left side of the midfield to the edge of the goal. Mazure trapped the ball and slipped a shot past the charging keeper into the left corner of the goal.
Dustin added a second goal when Scott sent a long ball toward the goal. Both the Marlette keeper and a defender went for the ball with neither of them controlling it. Dustin slipped by them, collected the ball and passed the balll into the empty net.
In the second half the Pirates added to their lead on a corner kick. Seth Guza sent the ball in to the middle of the box where several Pirates were waiting. Scott Grekowicz finished the play by leaping high and deflected the ball toward the goal and past the keeper.
Harbor Beach had a fine effort from all of its players, especially Dustin Mazure, who played with determination, Scott Grekowicz who controlled the game for the Pirates, setting teammates up for shots and defending at the other end, and the defense of Doug Booms, Brandon Stephenson, Ethan Booms, and Dillon Volmering.
Christopher Hagedon has 12 1/2 shutouts for of the regular season in helping the Pirates to a 20-0-1 record and 8-0 in league play.
They play at home with a 4pm start next Tuesday in their quest for a District Championship.
They will be playing GTW champions, USA. Harbor Beach invites the whole community to come and support their team.
