Plant edges Bloomingdale
VALRICO - Bloomingdale has spent years facing its toughest
district competition in the form of Newsome, but a move in class and
district this season left the Bulls with a hole to fill. Thursday night that
hole was filled by new 6A-8 rival Plant.
The first meeting between Plant and Bloomingdale as district opponents
didn't disappoint, with both teams matching up well. The Panthers got the
better of the chances in the match and were able to capitalize late with a
Connor Zwetsch goal to take a 1-0 win.
The first half saw much of the play take place in the midfield. The Bulls
did a good job neutralizing the Panthers attack and marking Plant's weapons
up top. Plant had an advantage in possession in the first half but weren't
able to finish anything with its forwards.
"In the first half I though we had three or four good chances where we had
the ball ad midfield with the forwards running through and we passed it to
the fullback," Panthers coach Stephen McGill said. "I think early we didn't
take the time to make a quality ball."
Bloomingdale head coach Sue Peet said the Bulls focus wasn't on any one
player, but in trying to keep the ball away from scoring chances for the
Panthers. The Bulls midfield and defense did an effective job early
containing Zwetsch in the midfield and the Panthers forwards, including
solid play from senior midfielder Nikki Peet and
