The Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé Crimson Bears varsity soccer teams continued their road series in Fairbanks playing Fairbanks on Friday and West Valley on Saturday.

The JDHS boys defeated Lathrop 5-0 Friday and West Valley 3-1 Saturday. The Crimson Bears had defeated Fairbanks 7-0 Thursday.

On Friday freshman Bryce Haygood scored with an assist by senior Ryan Thibodeau, senior Ahmir Parker scored unassisted, junior Kevin Flores-Lopez scored with an assist by senior Reed Maier, sophomore country wise email marketing list Sam Mazon scored with an assist by senior Kai Ciambor and Ciambor scored with an assist by Parker.

In the first half on Saturday Ciambor scored with an assist by Parker and Parker scored with an assist from junior Elliot Welch. In the second half West Valley scored to pull to 2-1, but then Ciambor scored with an assist by freshman Troy Edgar.

“We are just playing so well,” JDHS coach Gary Lehnhart said. “We are doing all the little things. And given the fact that we have new guys, they have just adjusted so quickly. I am really blown away at how much Elliott (Welch) and Erik (Thompson) have seized the spots and run the defense.”

JDHS has recently lost junior defenders Noah Ault and Jesper Bennetsen to injury, and was without senior outside backs Owen Rumsey, who was participating in a national honors competition, and Ryan Thibodeau, who was suffering from food poisoning.

Maier and junior Emmett Mesdag filled the outside back positions.

“They both played the whole game and played brilliantly,” Lehnhart said.
