Pirates dropkick Cats, 1-0

Whitehouse came into last Friday's game undefeated in district but knowing it was going to be a tough game playing at Pine Tree Pirate Stadium.

Whitehouse played defense most of the first half with Pine Tree outshooting the cats 11 to 3 but unable to score. The second half remained the same until at the 20:41 mark the Pirates scored when a low corner at the front post couldn't be cleared out and Pine Tree was able to put the ball in for the 1-0 lead.

The Cats had several more chances but were unable to get off a clear shot on goal. The defense played a great game and Justin Parker racked up 18 saves to keep the game close, with the game ending in Pine Tree's favor, 1-0, dropping Whitehouse to 3-1 in district and 9-3-2 overall.

JV 1, Pirates 0

In the JV game, Whitehouse was able to give Pine Tree their first district loss, 1-0, Friday, Feb. 9.

The Wildcats were able to score just 13 minutes into the first half when Pine Tree played the ball out and set up a corner kick taken by Taylor Burns who put the ball at the back post for Tanner Hays who punched it in for the 1-0 lead.

The game was tight the rest of the way with the defense playing tough for both teams.

Travis Lowthorp recorded his fourth shutout of the season. Whitehouse improved to 5-3-1 overall and 2-1-1 in district
