Genesee  Christian Defeats International Academy of Flint  

October 19, 2010 

Genesee  Christian volleyball played well against a much weaker IAF team.  They beat the Phoenix in three games 25-11. 25-11 and 25-9.   

 The Lady Soldiers have improved a lot this year but still can’t seem to be consistent in their serving.    

They are a young team with only two seniors,  Brooke Carmack and Lindsay Mowry,   who played their last home game against the Phoenix.   Brooke Carmack had 3 kills, Michala Marino had 2 kills and Brooke Gardner had 2 aces.   In the JV game Rebecca Taulbee served 18 straight serves.  The JV took both games 25-4 and 25-13. 

The Lady Soldiers have one regular season game left and then head into the districts which are being held at Michigan School for the Deaf.  GCS plays MSD at 5:00 pm on Monday November 1^st.   

Division 4 District 57 Semifinal Game 

GeneseeChristian Falls to #2-Ranked Lansing Christian 

October 21, 2010 

Genesee Christian saw its season come to an end, falling to second ranked Lansing Christian 3-0 in the Division 4 District 57 semifinal game. The loss ended Genesee Christian's 15-game unbeaten streak and broke Genesee Christian's string of 9 consecutive district titles - what was the longest streak in Genesee County. 

Genesee Christian's defense, led by senior captain Cody Klein and backstopped by senior captain Philip Peavyhouse in goal, held Lansing Christian's high powered attack at bay during the first half, and the game was tied 0-0 at intermission. 

Halftime was cut short by the referees due to the game's late start, and Genesee Christian was caught mentally not ready to start the second half. A missed assignment led to a Lansing Christian goal less than 2 minutes into the half - Steve Kim scored from near the penalty mark with an assist from Dillon Li. 

Finding itself down in the game, Genesee Christian had to open up and take more chances to try and generate some scoring opportunites. This opened up the field for Lansing Christian who clearly was a much faster and better skilled team. Lansing Christian scored two more times - Norlan Theis with an assist by J.C.Mahaffey and Steve Kim unassisted getting the goals. 

Genesee Christian could not generate much offense, and the game was played mostly in the Genesee Christian end. Josh Lyon made four saves for Lansing Christian but was not really tested on any of them. 

Philip Peavyhouse had another strong game in goal, making 13 saves and another 11 plays to break up scoring opportunities. He knew he had to have a perfect game to give his team a chance, but the Genesee Christian goalkeeper had no chance on the three Lansing Christian goals which were all scored in the box in the vicinity of the penalty mark. 

"Those were great shots (by Lansing Christian)," Genesee Christian Coach Doug Anderson told his team. "They finished their opportunities, and that is something we still need to learn." 

Genesee Christian finishes the season with a record of 13-5-2.

Evan Park Crowned Homecoming King 

Genesee Christian celebrated homecoming with a 4-2 victory over Royal Oak Shrine Catholic. 

Genesee Christian opened the scoring 11 minutes into the game. Senior captain Philip Peavyhouse punted the ball over the Shrine Catholic defense, and freshman Clay Selby (10) beat the Shrine Catholic goalkeeper to ball and directed it into the goal. Peavyhouse's punts created problems for Shrine Catholic all evening. 

Genesee Christian scored again with 15 minutes remaining in the half. Sophomore Hunter Selby chased down another punt into the right corner and passed to Clay Selby. Clay Selby sent a shot towards the left goal post, and freshman Micah Forshee (1) banged it home for his first career goal. 

Many of the of the players seemed to lose their focus at halftime. Sophomore Austin Park, junior Jason Baxter, senior captain Cody Klein and senior captain Evan Park spent halftime looking pretty and hanging out with the homecoming queen and her court. Evan Park was so caught up posing for pictures with the girls that he missed the start of the second half.   

Genesee Christian struck again early in the second half when Hunter Selby played a ball through to Clay Selby (11) who knocked it in for his second goal of the game. 

Genesee Christian relaxed with a 3-goal lead and became a little loose on defense. It was a bad time to do so because Shrine Catholic stepped up its intensity. 

Shrine Catholic's Frank Peaslee beat the Genesee Christian defense down the side and broke in unchallenged along the end line. His crossing pass deflected off a Genesee Christian defender and was knocked in by Will McFarland to cut the Genesee Christian lead down to two with 25 minutes remaining in the game. 

Shrine Catholic cut the deficit to one with 12 minutes remaining. Connor Lockman found an unmarked Frank Peaslee just inside the eighteen. The defense  inexplicably parted, giving him an uncontested shot, and Peaslee beat the Genesee Christian goalkeeper. 

Genesee Christian started to lose its composure, but Coach Doug Anderson quickly got his team refocused. Genesee Christian answered two minutes later with a goal of its own. Sophomore Quinton Foster made a crossing pass to junior Michael VandenBerg (5) who buried a shot in the back of the net for the game's final goal. 

GeneseeChristian Shuts Out Lakeville

Enoch Carpenter Scores First Career Goal 

Genesee Christian travelled to Lakeville and defeated the host team 5-0. 

The only goal in the first half was an unassisted goal 4-1/2 minutes into the game by junior Michael VandenBerg (4). The Soldiers had trouble finishing during the rest of the half as they fired a flurry of shots over the net. 

As the half continued without Genesee Christian getting another tally, Lakeville started to gain confidence and mounted a more aggressive attack. But the Genesee Christian goalkeeper, senior captain Philip Peavyhouse, made two big saves on shots from just outside the goal box to keep Lakeville from gaining any momentum in the first half. 

The Genesee Christian offense exploded in the second half as the Soldiers tallied four more goals. Freshman Clay Selby (8) scored an unassisted goal 4-1/2 minutes into the second half. At the midway point  freshman Caspian Peavyhouse redirected a pass to senior captain Cody Klein (4) who buried a shot from the left side of the goal. Five minutes later Clay Selby (9) scored his second goal of the game with an assist from sophomore Hunter Selby. 

The final goal came with 12 minutes left in the game. Lakeville had been whistled for dangerous play giving Genesee Christian an indirect kick inside the penalty area. Cody Klein took the kick and blasted a shot at Lakeville's defensive wall. Junior Enoch Carpenter (1) pounced on the rebound and put it into the lower right corner for the first goal of his career. 

The Genesee Christian defense, led by Cody Klein, had another strong outing. Philip Peavyhouse finished with six saves to earn his sixth shutout of the season. 

"It was a good team win," said Coach Doug Anderson. "Everybody got playing time and contributed to the win. The better our bench plays, the better we become as a team. And that was a nice finish by Enoch (Carpenter)." 

Genesee Christian improved to 10-4-1 with the victory and is now 5-0-1 against Genesee Area Conference opponents on the season. 

Philip Peavyhouse made eight saves to preserve the victory for Genesee Christian (11-4-1). The victory avenged a 3-2 loss to Shrine Catholic earlier in the season
