2014 Boys Soccer August 27 vs. Zeeland East


 Holland Christian welcomed Zeeland East to the turf on Wednesday night. The Maroons maintained possession in the attacking zone for the majority of the first half. Neither team capitalized in the first half, but the first half gave the Maroons a lot of momentum that led to an early second half explosion. Just two minutes into the second half, a corner kick from Andrew Keizer found the foot of Brandt VanHeest, who put the ball in the back of the net. VanHeest is a middle defender, but he is pulled up for certain set pieces. Less than a minute later, Jake Kammeraad took a corner kick that found its way to VanHeest's shoulder for his second goal in 60 seconds. Three minutes after that outburst of goals, Micah Bieri put another one on the scoreboard by striking one past the goalie from 15 yards out. With just under 20 minutes to play in the game, Reed Valk managed to kick in the fourth goal of the game. Zeeland East pushed in the final minutes for a goal, and they got one. The game ended in a 4-1 Maroons victory. After the game, Coach DeBoer complimented his players for their ability to “reward themselves with the work that they do each game”. The Maroons improve to 4-0-1 on the season. Holland Christian's next game will be played at Grand Rapids Christian at 4:30 on Tuesday, September 2.
