In the Kick Off Classic Leon bested the Chiles squad, who was playing without a number of players, 1-3. In the first district match between the two, played at the Leon pitch, Chiles came out on top 2-1. Leon visited the Chiles pitch for this match.

Leon started the match strong, while Chiles came out a little flat, resulting in Leon controlling the ball most of the time. Midway through the first half Leon took an early lead when Leon forward Craig Costigan was able to beat the Chiles defender got a shot just by Chiles keeper Mike Turner to put Leon up 1-0. Later in the half Leon midfielder Clayton Hinson worked past the defender on the left side and took a shot from just outside of the box to the right post which slipped by the diving Mike Turner, extending the Leon lead to 2-0, where it stayed at halftime.

Coach Gill’s halftime talk to the boys certainly worked, as Chiles came storming out to begin the second half. The Chiles side was controlling the ball and dominating play, resulting in a pass from CJ Heard to Gary Warner at the 49 minute mark who slammed the ball into the net. The boys continued to play with a high level of intensity and emotion, controlling the play; however, in a breakdown late in the second half Leon forward Davey Beck was able to get a shot past Mike Turner putting Leon up 3-1. While Chiles continued to fight hard for the remainder of the match and had opportunities, none were successful and Leon took this round with a 3-1 victory.

Chiles is now 8-5-2, and 4-2 in district play.

Chiles’ next game is at Godby Tuesday, January 11, and then meets Lincoln at home Wednesday, January 12.
