LadyPirateVolleyballPic2017Charlestown Lady Pirate Volleyball improved to 6-4 on the season after defeating Madison Shawe 3-1 on the road Wednesday (25-13, 25-16, 20-25, & 25-15).  “A win is a win, but we did not execute as well as I would have liked tonight. Even in the first set that we won 25-13 we just weren’t as sharp as usual, and we didn’t communicate very well.  In the second set we just traded points with Shawe until Kaia Reid went on a nine point serving run.  The third set we started down 0-5 and couldn’t overcome the gap. The fourth set was better and we were able to win 25-15 to finish the match.  We were able to play the entire roster tonight and everyone was able to contribute”, summarized Lady Pirate Head Coach Tammy Nuxoll.  The Charlestown offense was led tonight by Kiersten James, who finished the game with 11 kills while Maddie Nuxoll contributed 27 assists.  Chrissa Ledbetter and Maddie Nuxoll each had 11 digs to lead the defensive effort.  “We will have to have better focus in our conference match against North Harrison tomorrow night”, concluded Coach Nuxoll.  The Lady Pirate Junior Varsity squad improved their record to 4-4 while sweeping Shawe 2-0 (25-14, 25-10).  Charlestown at North Harrison Thursday night will be broadcasted lived by Pirate Pride Sports Broadcasting beginning at approxiately 7:00 pm at www.CPPSB.com.

Boys Soccer

PirateSoccer2Charlestown HS Pirate Soccer moved to a record of 2-4-1 and 0-2-1 in MSC play Tuesday evening when falling to MSC rival Silver Creek 3-2 on Dutch Reis Field.  “Today, the Pirates played a hard game against Silver Creek.  We started out by not doing the right work in the field and it cost us 2 goals in the first half.  Our goalie, Matt, did an amazing job (as usual) under the goal.  Just like all games, I had a discussion with my boys at halftime.  The second half was a true turn-around”, commented Pirate coach Christian Martinez.  The Pirates executed some good plays in the second half, which led to score two goals; one by Sergio Bolanos at the 19 minute mark with an assist from Andrew Mattingly, and another by Bryce Wray at the 22 minute mark with an assist from Pascual Gonzalez.  With the score tied at two, and near the end of the game, the referee called a “hand ball” that resulted in what developed as the winning penalty kick for Silver Creek.  “I disagree with the call 100%,  but it was his call”, added Coach Martinez.  “I love the effort I saw in the second half of the game and I hope they continue to play this hard”, concluded Coach Martinez.

Matt Parrella finished the game with 8 saves and 3 allowed.  The Pirates took 15 shots, with 12 on goal; Silver Creek took 20 shots, with 11 on goal.  The Pirates travel to Salem in another MSC clash Thursday.
