JDHS played senior forward Ahmir Parker in the back in prior games to offset the loss of Bennetsen, but the team is more effective when he plays alongside all-state senior forward Kai Ciambor up front and the two were problems for Soldotna.

opening minutes. Midway through the first half he threaded a pass to Parker at the top of the box and Parker found a shot to the back of the Soldotna net.

“It was a beautiful ball from Kai and it’s a shot country wise email marketing list I have taken dozens of times,” Parker said. “It was muscle memory, I don’t even remember it on that one to be completely honest.”

The 1-0 score would hold in the first half as JDHS keeper Walker unofficially withstood nine shots on or around the goal.

The two teams countered attacking moves through the first 20 minutes of the second half before the Crimson Bears’ Ciambor put a highlight move on two defenders and found freshman Troy Edgar with a crossing pass, and Edgar put in a shot to the right of the keeper for 2-0.

Roughly five minutes later Parker had a corner kick that was cleared away, but in the multiple change of possessions he found the ball again.

“I just kind of made it in my mind that they weren’t going to be taking the ball from me once I had an opportunity,” Parker said. “I shot it and I got lucky because it went through the keeper’s legs and went in.”

Parker said he had a message for his teammates in the back defensive positions.

“Thank you,” he said. “So much. You make my job a lot easier when I don’t have to worry about what’s going on back there. I appreciate that.”
