Greencastle looks to claim another sectional

Now that the boy's soccer sectional draw has been announced, the Greencastle Tiger Cubs are focused on trying to claim another sectional crown. 

The 18th ranked Tiger Cubs will open the sectional at Northview on Oct. 3 when they take on Indian Creek. 

Greencastle brought an 11-2-1 record into this week and were slated to play South Vermillion last night. 

The Tiger Cubs have gotten solid play from a host of players this year, according to head coach JD Sims. 

"All our seniors have been solid this year -- Sam White, Harris Weltz, Clay Glessner, Dylan Olson, Jalen Hardman and Henry Cox. Sophomore Micah Foss has scored a boat load of goals and Mylin Tucker has supplied a lot of great assists. Fischer Barcus, a freshman, has pushed his way into the team this year and has been a starter the entire season," Sims told The Putnam County Post. 

On the season, Foss has amassed 68 points, 32 goals and four assists, while keeper Harris Weltz has allowed nine goals and recorded 20 saves. 

When it comes to the rest of the sectional opponents, Greencastle has defeated Owen Valley 7-0, defeated Indian Creek 4-0, defeated Brown County 9-0, defeated Northview 4-0, defeated West Vigo 6-0 and defeated Edgewood 5-0. 

"We look forward to giving our best shot at another sectional win. We feel confident that we can win the competition. Defending the title is a situation we have been in before so the boys are ready to get the job done," Sims said.
