A sign of force was definitely shown by the U10 Kaw Valley Force on Saturday.

The 10U Force easily beat the 12U Blue Thunder 9-0 at Youth Sports Inc.

The Force played consistent soccer throughout the entire game and wore down the Blue Thunder as time went by. Forward Chris Allen scored the first goal of the game for the Force, and things went downhill from there for the Blue Thunder.

The Force strung numerous passes together to create fast-break opportunities. Force midfielder Malachi Podrebarac capitalized on a fast-break opportunity to put the Force up 2-0.

A mental lapse by the Blue Thunder defense created another scoring chance for the Force. The referee called a handball on the Blue Thunder inside the penalty box, giving the Force a penalty kick.

The Force called on Allen to shoot the penalty kick. He was successful on the free kick and scored his second goal of the contest.

After the penalty kick, the Blue Thunder became very lackadaisical on defense.

Defender Connor Henrichs took advantage of the passive defense and took a 30-yard shot that sailed over the Blue Thunder goalie’s head and into the back of the net.

The first half ended with Allen scoring his third goal of the game, giving the Force a 5-0 lead headed into the break.

The second half was much like the first. The Force had numerous opportunities to score, without giving much back to the Blue Thunder offense.

Force goalkeeper Viktor Knowles played in front of the net during the second half. Knowles didn’t have to block a single shot from the Blue Thunder.

“No one took a shot, so I was a little bored playing goalie,” Knowles said.

Knowles didn’t have to worry about allowing goals because his team kept scoring their own and keeping the ball down a the other end of the field.

Familiar goal scorers, Allen and Podrebarac, brought the score to 7-0 with 10 minutes to go in the game.

Two new faces decided to get in on the scoring action for the Force before the game ended. Ian Gabel, Force forward, got on the board before time expired, but he wasn’t the last.

Force midfielder Narito Mendez scored the ninth and final goal of the game to secure the victory for the Force.
