September 4, 2010
Centerville 1 - Moeller 0
Centerville ran it's regular season streak to 30 games in a row without a loss with an impressive shutout at Moeller.

Sophomore forward Brad Schluter hammered home the game winner early in the second half on an assist from Andrew Roop. It was Schluter's first goal as a varsity Elk and it pushed Centerville's season mark to 4-0 - with all four wins coming on the road.

The Elks' defense continues to impress. Goalie Andrew Kreger and the starting back line of Brandon Klepach, Austin Bucher, Matt Morgann and Stephen Acevedo recorded their third consecutive shutout.

The Elks last regular season loss came against Beavercreek, 3-0, back on Sept. 16 of the 2008 campaign.

August 31, 2010
Centerville 2 - Vandalia Butler 0
Early goals by Matt Spires and Slater Morgann propelled Centerville to their third consecutive road win opening the season.

The Elks' offense created several scoring chances in the second half but couldn't find the net, while their defense dominated the Aviators so thoroughly goalkeeper Andrew Kreger faced only one serious shot on goal the entire game.

Senior co-captain Spires fired home a bullet less than eight minutes into the game, delivered from the top of the box, on an assist from fellow senior and co-captain Ross Gabbard. Less than six minutes later Morgann recorded his second goal of the season on an assist from Spires.

The Elks face a more serious threat this Saturday when they travel to Cincinnati Moeller for a 3 p.m. contest. The Elks JV, coming off a 9-0 trouncing of Butler to remain unbeaten, play at 1 p.m.




August 28, 2010
Centerville 2 - Westerville North 0
Playing against a very physical team, on a bumpy grass field that challenged both teams all afternoon, the Elks survived 2-0 on a pair of second-half goals by juniors Andrew Roop and Slater Morgann.

Westerville North, a traditionally tough Division I opponent that finished runner-up in the Central District last year and won the state title as recently as 2003, held the Elks scoreless in the first 40 minutes but surrendered a goal inside the first 30 seconds of the second half.

Roop, a speedy forward who last season was the second highest goal scorer for the Elks, tallied his first of the season on a follow-up inside the box. Sophomore Brad Schluter set up the goal – and recorded his first assist as a varsity Elk – on a nice header that caromed off the goalie to Roop.

With less than seven minutes left in the game Morgann sealed the win on a nice goal inside the box. It came off a throw-in from sophomore Jake Stovall, a defensive starter who shows promise of becoming a consistent offensive threat with his ability to deliver deep, powerful throw-ins from the sideline.

Final shot totals weren't available but Centerville threatened several times in the second half, once on a bicycle kick by junior Adam Holmes that bounced off the crossbar, while he Elks defense, behind goalie Andrew Kreger, held the Warriors to one shot on goal in the first half and one legitimate scoring chance in the second.

The Elks are 2-0 and play the third of four consecutive away games to kick off the season when they travel to Vandalia Butler on Tuesday for a 7:30 p.m. league match. The Elks JV team plays at 5:30 p.m.


August 24, 2010
Centerville 4 - Lebanon 1
Memme Onwudiwe scored three goals and Max Quellhorst added another with two assists as Centerville kicked off the season with a convincing 4-1 win over host Lebanon. The Elks bolted to a 3-0 halftime lead behind Onwudiwe's exceptional play. The speedy and physical senior plowed through three defenders early in the first half to score the Elks' first goal of the season and added a second less than three minutes before halftime on a nice assist from Adam Holmes. In between was a left-footed goal by Quellhorst, the senior center midfielder, from the top of the box.

Head Coach Brad Loveless rested his starters for most of the second half as the Elks coasted home. The final statistics were telling: Centerville had 16 shots, 8 on goal, to Lebanon's 6 shots total.

Centerville's defense looks as stout as ever, built on a solid back line of veterans and newcomers, with the only dent a meaningless Warriors' goal late in the game. Defenders Brandon Klepach, Austin Bucher, Stephen Acevedo and Matt Morgann held a steady wall in front of experienced and skilled goalkeeper Andrew Kreger.

Centerville faces a daunting schedule this season with their most competitive games coming on the road. Their next match is Saturday at Westerville North in Columbus. The Elks JV team, coming off a 4-1 win over Lebanon, play at 1 p.m. and the varsity at 3 p.m.
