Bishop Seabury's Evan McHenry high-fives coach Ivo Ivanov in the second half of a 5-3 win over Topeka Cornerstone. McHenry scored twice in the win.

It’s probably a good sign when you’ve scored so many goals your coach has lost count.

Welcome to a day in the life of Evan McHenry.

“Evan now has 11 goals in nine games. Or 12 goals. I don’t know,” said Bishop Seabury coach Ivo Ivanov following a 5-3 win over Topeka Cornerstone.

“I think it’s 11,” McHenry corrected.

“I think it’s 12,” his coach replied. “I’ve got to go back and check the stat sheet.”

Whatever the number, there was no question as to his performance on Tuesday. McHenry scored the bookend goals in Seabury’s win, and he did so even after his day got off to a less than stellar start.

With his team already behind a goal — Cornerstone’s Brady Steinlage scored to open the match — McHenry chased after a ball down the left sideline, powering it out of bounds and nearly into the face of a spectator standing a few steps off the sideline.

Thomas DiZerega dribbles the ball down the field in Bishop Seabury's 5-3 win over Topeka Cornerstone. DiZerega scored on a header in the match and helped set up another goal.

That was perhaps his least accurate strike of the night, as he tied the match moments later with a well-placed header off a cross from Freddy Comparato.

“I was glad that we could finally connect on one of those,” McHenry said. “Freddy can really cross it well.”

Still, there was plenty of work to do.

Cornerstone’s Dane Vanderbilt put his side in front for a second time, scoring on a counterattack right before the end of the first half.

As the teams returned to their benches, Ivanov addressed his players in the huddle. He correctly predicted they would score five goals so long as they continued to dominate possession and maintain composure, though he admittedly wasn’t as concerned about the second half of that list.

“We, for whatever reason, are very timid in the first 10 minutes of every game, and often we get scored on,” Ivanov said, letting out a laugh before continuing. “Unfortunately, nobody was shocked when we were down 1-0.”

They weren’t down for long.

After some buildup play to start the second half, Seabury’s Sam Bayliss was brought down in the box. Comparato converted the ensuing penalty to tie the game.

Bayliss set up the next goal, too, earning an assist as he lofted a cross in toward Thomas DiZerega, who headed it into the back of the net to give Seabury a 3-2 lead.

“He’s 5-10, and I might be being generous when I give him 5-10, but he can jump so high. He’s an outstanding basketball player,” Ivanov said of DiZerega. “It was gorgeous. He skied so high, found the ball perfectly and put it in the corner.”

DiZerega helped orchestrate the next goal, passing the ball to Bosco Li, who threaded it to Harrison Hartzler for the score.

Cornerstone would answer, but McHenry would score again, this time smashing a left-footed strike into the corner of the net to seal the match and move the Seahawks to 5-3 on the year.

“I think we just didn’t give up. … I was proud of the team,” McHenry said. “We’ve gone down before and come back so we all know what we can do.”
