NWO Soccer Weekly (Girls') Coach of the Year - Scott Wamer

Toledo - I can think of one word to describe Clay (Oregon) head coach Scott Wamer...intense; but their is a humble and gracious side of Scott Wamer that maybe his immediate family and players in the program would know. This past season had to be one of the best for the longtime head coach of the Lady Eagles of Clay - winning their second TRAC (Three Rivers Athletic Conference) title in 4 years, finishing the regular season as one of the four best girls programs in the state of Ohio in Division I, but more importantly finishing the regular season with no blemish in the lost column. "Coming into this season we did not have any expectation, we thought we could be very competitive but nothing like what we achieved this fall" said Wamer. "This was a young team with some older leadership and they matured at the right time throughout the season. We had a great group of kids with a great skill level that put us on the map".  The Eagles finished the regular season with a 14-0-2 record and heading into the state tournament with the top-seed in the NW District and heading into the Findlay bracket a lot of people would speculate that the Eagles could run into trouble. Clay advanced to the district semifinal to take on a TRAC rival Notre Dame Academy, a team they defeated 3-1 back on September 24th at home - and this time it would be a different result. The Eagles saw their season come to a close on a Dena Deeb finish in the closing seconds of the second extra time period; that loss left Coach Wamer is disarray and what he may need to do differently to propel this very talented team to the next level.

"We have to recognize the level we are at and where we want to be - with that comes more challenging games and friendlies to instill into our players that we have to learn to compete to big time matches in order to win a district title. A league title is always a good goal to set but being knocked out [by NDA] the way we were was not fulfilling." said Wamer. In retrospect, this Clay (Oregon) program has come a very long way - with being able to play those state powers and creating a winning environment. "I felt that I was the right guy at the right time to get the job here, I was a physical education teacher and just remember recruiting hard for girls who were not playing a fall sport. We only had one club player at that time and by the end of the first year we thought we had a good crop of players." said Wamer. "Now we are getting girls that are coming here that are playing at high level clubs like GTFC Impact and Pacesetter - we are starting to see our youth feeder systems get more numbers and compete. It is a very exciting time and I am looking forward to the future of our program". At the end of the day, Wamer knows what it takes to be a winner and what it means to be successful and achieve goals and dreams that are set - "Our goal is to win a district title, it was good for our younger players to understand the meaning of this year and how it felt to lose that way. Hope we come with a great attitude in the summer workouts and preseason next fall but I am very proud of all of our girls [current and alumnus] who have believed and continue to believe what this program is about". On behave of NWO Soccer Weekly I like to congratulate Clay (Oregon) head coach Scott Wamer on being named the first-ever NWO Soccer Weekly (Girls') Coach of the Year. We wish you nothing but the best and continuing success in your program.

Clay (Oregon) and Perrysburg girls headline key matches in tomorrow's District Semifinal

Toledo - Top seeds Clay (Oregon) and Perrysburg look to continue their success tomorrow in the District semifinals taking place at two different venues.  In Findlay, the Eagles will look to continue their perfect season but will face a tough test from last year's District champion and second-place TRAC foe Notre Dame Academy;  Clay took care of NDA in their regular season tilt 3-1 on three first half goals to take control of the TRAC championship they wrapped up on the final game in the conference by defeating Findlay 1-0. In the second semifinal will have the Lady Kats of Sylvania Northview taking on the Arrows of St. Ursula Academy - Sylvania Northview defeated the Arrows at Timberstone in September 1-0 in a contest that did not see many clear opportunities on goal except for the one senior Megan Kupetz was able to convert; as for the Arrows it has been an up-and-down season with injuries and inconsistency but expect the Arrows to give Northview all they can handle to advance to Thursday's final in Findlay.  In Sylvania on the campus of Timberstone Middle School - Anthony Wayne will look to continue their winning ways entering Monday evening's tilt with Findlay. Last year's District champion and Regional finalist are looking to play in their third straight district final but a feisty and hungry Findlay will look to spoil the Generals' run - in the second semifinal the Yellow Jackets of Perrysburg will take on the Ashland Arrows. Perrysburg who has been lead by their goal-scoring duo of senior Allex Brown and junior Beth Glowacki and strong defending from senior Lindy DeLong and junior Bri Boyd the Jackets will look to continue their postseason successes. Ashland will enter the semifinal with a record of 9-5-2 and look to give the Jackets all they can handle - so many quality games going on tomorrow and looking forward to see what two teams will propel themselves to the District final on Thursday.

NWO Soccer Weekly Match of the Week (Three Rivers Athletic Conference - #4 Oregon Clay vs. Tol. Notre Dame Academy)

Tale of the tape

Oregon Clay

10-0-0 (overall) 3-0-0 (TRAC)

GF (Goals for): 37 (3.70 goals a game)

GA (Goals against):  7 (0.70 goals against)

Key Players: Karleigh Clere (Sophomore, FW, 11g, 14a), Sydney Hess (Junior, MF), Sami Heintschel (Sophomore, DF), Kara Simon (Senior, MF), Reagan Clark (Freshman, MF)

Key wins: St. Ursula Academy (Toledo), Avon Lake, Brecksville-Broadview Hts

Notes:  This could possibly be head coach Scott Wamer's best team he has had in Clay girls' soccer history - rated #4 in Ohio in Division I this very young but extremely talented group have lived beyond expectation to become one of the most dangerous teams not only in NW Ohio but the State. Majority of their big wins have been away from Sanderson Field on the campus of Clay High School - defeating NWO powerhouse St. Ursula Academy, and beating most recently an undefeated Brecksville-Broadview Hts team (that had no blemish on their record prior to their tilt).  "We have put a lot of work in this program, but like we have said to the girls...we haven't done anything yet" said Scott Wamer, the only coach in the program's history.  Wamer, in his 24th year of coaching both soccer and track at Clay has put blood, sweat, and tears into this program and has seen the benefits coming from it. "We now have the girls playing at a high-level all year round which we did not have years back, it's a great feeling to see them having fun and taking this as an honor to see where our progress has come as a whole". Leading the way for the Eagles are a sophomore tandem about as good as any other in the State in forward Karleigh Clere (11g, 14a) and central defender Sami Heintschel (4g, 8a) - Heintschel as a Freshman last year was a first-team All-TRAC selection while Clere received second-team honors a year ago, seniors Jenna Kidd, Kara Simon and Alyssa Heck are the veterans for the Eagles and give them quality wherever they are on the pitch. Freshmen Reagan Clark has become the missing piece to puzzle for the Eagles with her overall technical ability and has set up many goals going forward for the Eagles. "We have a lot of respect for Notre Dame and Chip Smith, it has become a rivalry between our programs and we are looking forward to the challenge Wednesday evening with a top-notch program".

Notre Dame Academy

5-3-2 overall 3-0-0 (TRAC)

GF (Goals for): 27 (2.70 goals a game)

GA (Goals against): 10 (1.00 goals a game)

Key Players: Dena Deeb (Junior, FW/MF), Kate Foster (Senior, DF) Halee Roberts (Junior, DF), Mady Parks (Senior, FW), Julia Spencer (Sophomore, MF/FW)

Key win: Granville

Notes: It has been an up and down year for fourth-year head coach Chip Smith, but he believes a season-changing moment is in the horizon for his young Eagles.  Last year NDA almost ran the table after winning the TRAC and their first ever District title in school history before being knocked out of the regionals by Anthony Wayne, but this year the Eagles stumbled out of the blocks a bit after taking a loss to Sylvania Northview (#2 in the NWO Soccer Weekly Power Poll), drew a very tough Hathaway Brown team and then losing to last year's state semifinalist in Division I Rocky River Magnificat (who Coach Smith was pleased with their overall performance after the defeat).  Knowing the Eagles play daunting schedule, this could easily be the season-changing moment for them coming into the highly anticipated match with the #4 ranked team in Ohio.  Pacing the Eagles this fall is one of the most dangerous players in the District in junior Dena Deeb (14, 5a) who can create problems for the Clay defense - if that can happen it will free up senior attacker Mady Parks (8g, 0a) and the sophomore tandem of Julia Spencer (0g, 2a) and Gwyn Ledrick. At the back for the Eagles, they are steadied by senior Kate Foster and junior Halee Roberts who are physical and have tremendous pace that can stay with any team they are playing against. "We know what we are capable of doing, just need to show up and do it consistently" said Chip Smith - "This Clay team is for real and we know they are going to come out and be ready - we have to match their intensity, take risks, and make our opportunities we have count".  Moments like this do not happen too many times in the season - but can this be the moment the Eagles save their season and collect that signature win...we will have to wait and see at 6PM .

Game time at 6PM

at Sanderson Field (located behind Clay High School)
