Jefferson City ends Hickman's season
By Nick Snow Columbia Daily Tribune
Tuesday, November 2, 2010
SEDALIA — The Hickman soccer team was bigger, stronger and faster than Jefferson City, and despite having similar records, the Kewpies came out showing more confidence than the Jays. After all, they were the defending district champions — reaching the state semifinals last season.
But the right foot of 5-foot-8 midfielder Adam Luetkemeyer proved to be the difference-maker in the Jays’ 1-0 upset of second-seeded Hickman in the Class 3 District 9 Tournament.
“Those late goals are the ones that kill you,” Hickman senior captain Andy Atkins said. “It just happens. It was a nice throw, and he just put it in a place where we couldn’t get to it in time. ...
“This was rough, but there’s more to life than soccer. It’s been a great four years.”
Jefferson City controlled the tempo for the majority of the first half. Taylor Ray got a decent look at the goal halfway through the first half, but that was stopped by Christian Loehner. Hickman had one more opportunity with 30 seconds left, but Atkins’ free kick sailed wide, ending the half in a scoreless tie.
“We really struggled in the first half,” Hickman Coach Adam Taylor said. “With it being a close game in the second half, I thought that having been in that spot before, it might work to our advantage. All year, we have had problems scoring. We just never really found ourselves.”
After fending off a couple of shots from Jefferson City, Hickman (17-7-1) started to show more fight over the middle of the second half. Once again, Atkins just missed as his shot sailed over the crossbar. Colin Janicek also fought off several defenders on his way to the net, but his shot sailed wide left.
With 7:37 left in the game, a quick throw-in was hauled in by Luetkemeyer. A scramble ensued in front of the net, but as Luetkemeyer was falling he managed to get just enough of his foot on the ball to roll it into the lower right corner. Hickman tried to answer, even getting a couple of shots in the final minute, but Loehner and the Jefferson City defense cleared the ball to preserve the win.
“These guys worked really hard, and I’m going to miss our seniors,” Taylor said. “I didn’t have a speech prepared for if we lost, but I told them that not everything goes as planned. Jefferson City is a very well-coached team, and we just didn’t have enough to overcome their goal. We’re just going to have to regroup and get ready for next year. When August comes around, we’ll be ready.”

Hickman grinds out a PK victory over Helias

Hickman goalkeeper Chuck Wilson blocks a penalty kick during the Kewpies’ overtime victory against the Helias Crusaders Tuesday night on LeMone Field. Hickman won 1-1 (4-2 in PKs).
It wasn’t pretty, but the Hickman boys soccer team survived a scare from Helias last night on LeMone Field.
Slide Show
● Soccer: Hickman 5, Helias 3
After Hickman tied the game at 1 with 24:04 left in regulation, the Kewpies beat the Crusaders in penalty kicks thanks to a pair of saves from goalkeeper Chuck Wilson and a final goal from fellow senior Erik Pekkala to win the penalty kick shootout 4-2.
“We were just happy to come out with a win on senior night,” Wilson said. “The best part was the way we earned it. Heading into the first overtime, Coach” Adam “Taylor said we needed to step up and come away with a W. We knew that Helias was a good team, and I think a win like this will help us build some confidence and take a step in the right direction heading into next week.”
The Kewpies (14-5-1) struggled throughout most of the first half as Helias forced Hickman to settle into a defensive mind-set. Late in the first half, Helias’ Blake Wenzel gave the Crusaders their first major scoring opportunity, turning a turnover into a breakaway. The ball deflected off Wilson’s hands, but Pekkala zipped in and saved a goal, keeping the game scoreless at the half.
“Chuck did his job by coming out, and Eric made a great play,” Taylor said. “That’s just the way this team is — we fight for each other. That would have been a really tough goal because we did everything right.”
After being denied by Pekkala once, Wenzel refused to be denied again, getting behind the defense to give Helias a 1-0 lead with 34:23 left in the second half.
Hickman responded almost instantly, as a low corner kick from senior Andy Atkins created a scramble in front of the Helias net. But after five shots from point-blank range, the Crusaders finally cleared the ball to avoid disaster.
Connor Hollrah scored 10 minutes later. Hollrah sent a blast that bounced off a defender’s foot and into the net to send the game into overtime.
“We started playing a lot better with about 10 minutes left in the second half,” Taylor said. “I told them going into overtime that we couldn’t stop. We had to keep going. We’re a blue-collar team who can grind it out. We definitely saw that in overtime.”
Hickman had a couple of chances on a pair of free kicks from Grahm Meyer but couldn’t come up with anything in either overtime period. Marcus Woodruff almost ended the game for the Crusaders late in the second overtime, but the post was unkind, forcing penalty kicks.
Atkins, Hollrah, Adam Brenner and Pekkala all scored penalty kicks for the Kewpies, while Wenzel and Woodruff scored for Helias.
“We did a good job of fighting back and shipping our seniors off with a win,” Taylor said. “This was the first group I’ve coached all four years. I’ve learned a lot from them, and I’m going to miss their leadership and their humor. Being senior night, there’s so much emotion involved. Sometimes it’s hard to get in the flow.
“We’ve still got three big games left. We’ve got to play better for the full 80 minutes. This is the time for our team to establish their identity.”
