GERMANTOWN ACADEMY 0, CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 2
It was scoreless game until late in the game when Brennan Franklin flicked a ball to Anthony Bice who redirected the pass to a running Christian Canally who went 1v1 vs the Germantown keeper. Canally cooly placed the ball in the bottom left to give CB South the lead. A couple minutes later it was Evan Jaskelewicz who intercepted a pass along the backline to also go 1v1 with the keeper and scoring to give CB South the 2-0 victory.

COACH ED BRNARDIC:
“We were thrilled to come away with the victory today against an extremely disciplined and well-coached Germantown Academy team. We are tired – not just physically but mentally. It’s been a long two weeks, and you could see some uncharacteristic and lazy decisions from some of our regular starters today. Given the recent grind, I’m actually surprised that this didn’t happen sooner, but we were able to escape with the 2-0 victory, thanks to the heroics of Christian Canally. It’s been a long time since we had a Saturday off, so we are going to take advantage of the free weekend and we will step away from soccer for a couple days and re-charge our batteries.”
PROPS:
“Today was Christian Canally’s game. Period.
“It is so hard to get minutes on this team with our starting strikers playing so well, especially in tight games. Christian shows a maturity that you don’t expect from a high school student, but something that you would see from an experienced adult. While most players would be frustrated wanting more minutes, Canally comes to train with a higher level of focus and effort. On Tuesday, he was by far the best player at practice, and we coaches left practice on Tuesday night wishing/knowing that he was going to do something special this week. With 15 minutes left in the game, we had a hunch, and we rotated our regular forwards out to get Christian into the game, and he came though big time. Watching him score was my happiest moment of the season so far.”
