Bears season done in heartbreaker

By MATTHEW BROWN
Journal Sports Writer
Sometimes, a wide-open net is too wide open.  With 15 seconds to play, and nobody from Pebblebrook High close to guarding the goal, Houston County High was still unable to find to correct angle to at least force overtime Wednesday in the GHSA Class AAAAA boys soccer playoffs.
The Falcons from Cobb County came out the victors 2-1 in this second-round contest, with Houston’s only goal coming only 30 seconds before the heartbreaking conclusion. It was at the 48-second mark of the second half when senior Dallas Hall headed home an Erick Douglas
corner kick.
This was the only source of good luck for the home Bears in a four minute span where nothing Houston County could do with the soccer ball seemed good enough to build a winning
total. Hall, for one, took a shot from 19 yards away saved at 3:30 to go. In the next minute, Douglas missed wide and Brandon Davey missed wide on a header. When Hall made the score 2-1, Houston County took the kickoff and attacked Pebblebrook’s speedy and crowding defense. On the left side of the penalty box, the Falcon goalkeeper played the ball close to the line. That left his goal open, but he was able to take his trip home to Mableton knowing he got away with something. Most of the match was a test of Pebblebrook’s speed against Houston County’s height and strong kicking skills. Caleb Graves was one Bear who spent the whole game trying to set up offense or take matters into his own feet. He hit a ball high of the goal two minutes into play, and the Bears had their first corner attempt saved four minutes in.
Pebblebrook’s middle attacker sped after a lead pass over the middle, ran it into the box and took a bouncing shot that found its way in at 34:27. To protect the 1-0 lead, Pebblebrook saved a high header from Hall just two minutes after scoring. It was about 11 minutes later when the Falcon keeper had to catch Hall’s header in the air off a corner kick. The Bears got that corner as Graves tried to angle the ball in from a Hunter Heck pass.
Vince Stewart, Jason Webster and Davey broke up one of Pebblebrook’s few remaining attacks in the box of the first half. The visitors got a corner kick with six minutes to go, but Graves and Ethan Kiriat were there to run the ball back to the opposite end. Hall took one more shot on goal at 1:25 as Graves passed it inside, but the ball went high. Houston had the ball possession it wanted, but so many crossing passes  were too hard allowing Pebblebrook to position itself on defense.
Graves bulled his way towards that Falcon goal early in the second half forcing other than the keeper to deflect his scoring attempt. With Graves, Douglas and Patrick Braxton working together, again the Falcons needed a non-goalie save, and the half wasn’t even four minutes old.
Two more missed opportunities later and Pebblebrook struck again. This time the visitors put two passes together in the box and scored off the left post at 29:48. It wasn’t even a minute later that Douglas took a corner, and Hall’s header resulted in a great Pebblebrook save. And, not even a minute later, Kyle Coldfelter of Houston saved a ball the Falcons kicked for a left angle. He also made a nice leaping catch of a corner kick with less than six minutes to play.
Hall had one other header go wide off a Ryan Barrick loft pass (under 20 to go). Richmond Brou missed wide amid lots of action in the Falcon box, and a connection between Barrick and Braxton was saved.

Bears Claw into Play-Offs

Posted By: Evan Pinsonnault  
After capturing the region 5-A title last week, the Houston County boys soccer squad headed into the playoffs on a high note.
Now with one win already under their cleats, the bears can claw into the state semi-finals with another victory on Wednesday.
At practice Monday afternoon, players scrimmaged against each
other on the field, working closely on ball dribbling and passing. They say everybody knows their positions better than ever this year, and players can transition on both sides of the ball with improved skill and energy.
Head coach Heath Burch says the bears have never made it past the "elite eight" in state tournament play, but thinks this year's team has the best chance to do it if they keep their game simple.
"We've got to get back to moving the ball, quick touches all around the field, don't try and dribble through the other team." said Burch. "These guys can do it, they almost coach themselves on the field during the games."
"I think we have better chemistry this year and more scoring, more passing, overall I think we're a better team," added senior center/midfielder Dallas Hall. "This is year we can get over the hump and make a run at a state title."
The bears can continue that state title run on Wednesday when they host Pebblebrook. The game kicks off at 6:00 p.m.

Bears swept by county rival
By Chris Deighan
- sports@macon.com

Warner Robins - The region standings had been finalized, and state tournament seedings were set, but that didn’t mean the soccer teams from Houston County and Warner Robins had nothing at stake.

Backed by fans wearing T-shirts announcing the fact they had recently clinched a fourth GHSA Region 1-AAAAA title in five years, the Houston County boys tried to put a bow on a perfect conference mark. Less than four minutes into the game, Houston County appeared to be on its way.

Forward Ryan Barrick converted on a penalty kick after a teammate was ruled to have been fouled in the box.
Warner Robins, the region’s second seed for the upcoming playoffs, broke on top for good eight minutes later. The Houston County back line tried to trap Daly offside on midfielder David Clark’s through ball.

But the referee’s assistant’s flag stayed down. Daly collected the ball just outside the penalty area and raced toward Houston County keeper Kyle Clodfelter. Holding the ball a split second longer than expected, Daly then calmly slotted the ball to the goalie’s left for a 2-1 lead.

But just 30 seconds later, it was Daly of the Demons’ lining up to take a spot kick of his own, and he converted.

Daly played a role again when his cross from the right side gave Clodfelter trouble. When the ball rolled out of the keeper’s hands, Warner Robins forward Kyler Richmond was on the doorstep to plow it back toward goal.

Houston (15-2) cut its two-goal deficit in half seven minutes before halftime. Fullback Brandon Davey moved forward to attack on a corner kick. His back-post header sent the teams into intermission with Warner Robins leading 3-2.


Neither team scored after that, although Houston County’s Dallas Hall narrowly missed the net when he redirected a cross with 3:30 left in the game.

“It’s better to have tough region games like this toward the end of the season,” Warner Robins head coach Andy Bailey said. “We’re not going to meet anyone in the playoffs better than (Houston County). I think they would say the same thing. That’s what rivalries are all about.”

Earlier, the Demonettes put an exclamation point on their third consecutive Region 1-AAAAA title by knocking off their rivals. Walker’s goal came when she chased down a ball teammate Maggie Dimes had played over the top of the Houston back line.”

Houston County Lady Bears fell to 10-6-1 and will have the region’s third seed.
