what should have been a
penalty kick as they tried to
pull even late in the first
half.
Hamilton earned its spot
in the district final with a
2-0 win over Holland in
Middleville Tuesday after-
noon.
Last Friday, the Zeeland
West girls struggled to con-tain Schut, which always
has to be a fine line for
opponents. They can’t let
Thornapple Kellogg junior
midfielder have any space.
They also can’t get her toofired up.
A hard tackle by Zeeland
West midfielder Amarra
Blattner took Schut out of
the play and drew a whistle
ten minutes into the second
half of the Dux’s MHSAA
Division 2 District opener
inside Bob White Stadium.
After gathering herself,
Schut whizzed the free kick
just wide of the upper left 90
on the goal at the south end
of the field.
A few minutes later,
Schut finished off her hat-
trick in a 5-1 Trojan victory.
Schut also found just
enough space in the middle
of the Dux’s box Friday to
head two corner kicks from
Pratt into the net. Velting
and sophomore Madilyn
Chivis also scored for the
Trojans.
A header by Schut was
the lone goal of the first half
Friday.
Velting scored on a fine
little give and go at the top
of the Dux’s box with fresh-
man attacker Tealy Cross to
put TK up 2-0 less than two
minutes into the second
half.
A failed clearance attempt
up the middle by the Zeeland
West defense gave Schut a
head of steam moving
towards the met five min-
utes into the second half,
and she quickly upped her
team’s lead to 3-0 with a
shot into the lower left-handcorner of the net.
The lead grew to 4-0 as
Schut headed a second cor-
ner kick into the goal with
20:43 to play.
Chivis’ goal came on a
stunning shot from just out-
side the Dux’s box to the
left. She dispossessed adefender of the ball and then
curled a shot from the tough
angle just inside the far post
on the right side the clock
ticked under ten minutes to
go.
Rylee Terpstra scored the
lone goal for Zeeland West
with 12:26 to play.Keep Your Teeth for a LIFETIME!

“Looking into our big
game next week, we are
really just looking to fine
tune our fundamentals in
places that make good
teams great,” Caledonia
head coach Kendra
Venema said. “We are
looking at some new
offensive opportunities,
with playing a new
defense, but [EGR is] also
a fast team and how to
slow their transition and
really just take advantage
of our strengths.”
Half of the top ten in
the Michigan Power
Rankings are a part of this
regional tournament – a
group that also includesnumber two Forest Hills
Central, number seven
Northview and number
ten Grand Rapids Catholic

al match. Catholic Central

round contest.
Catholic Central takes
on Spring Lake in the
second of the two regional
semifinal matches at FHC

Final is planned for 7 p.m.
Friday, June 2.
It will have been a week
and a half since the Scots

the road Monday
Rylen Goosen had five
goals. Addie Roe and
Cambria Gaier scored
four goals. Dilyn Pratt,
