Jack Behre and Alex James scored first-half goals, with Jahred Ashmeade assisting on both, as the Pioneers parlayed a 2-0 halftime edge into a lopsided league win over the visiting Wildcats Tuesday night in Lewis Center.
Ashmeade had a hand in all three of his team’s second-half tallies, too, assisting on a goal by Zach Blendick before scoring a pair of his own.

Weiss likes the makeup of his defense, which surrendered just three goals in its first four games, and he also expects the offense to start heating up.
“That’s really a matter of timing,” Weiss said. “One thing we need to get better at is getting timing down as we move the ball up the field. That will give us better chances to score. That really dictates how we attack the goal.”

Source: This Week NewsOrange coach Brett Weiss commented before the game that the Pioneers (5-1-1, 0-1) would find out where they stood.
“There’s a reason why (Liberty) is third in the state,” he said. “We got kind of lost in the game in the first (half) and we paid for it on two set pieces. The nice thing is that when you play teams like (Liberty) – they teach you how to play.
“What I learned about our team is that we’re growing and (we were) resilient tonight. We were pretty low at the half, but we came back in the second. I like the way we played in the second half.”
Source: The Delaware Gazette“They are buying into what we are doing, and that’s huge,” Weiss said. “We’re showing good gumption in spots when we’re working into trouble and we have found our way out. I’m happy with where we’re at.
“In my opinion, we’re starting to understand how good we can be if we defend together (and) if we can move together.”
Source: This Week NewsBrett Weiss has a roster laden with juniors and seniors in his first season coaching the boys soccer team. The Pioneers were 7-7-3 overall and 1-3-1 in the OCC-Buckeye last season. "All of the seniors and juniors on the roster are pretty balanced, and all of them will be sharing time to keep the energy level high," Weiss said. "We have a good group committed to working hard and training hard. We have a good work ethic in the program, and we can give everyone game time without missing a beat."

“We’re very young, but they are playing very well together,” said second-year coach Jason Bayer, whose team finished 8-8-3 overall last season and was fifth (1-2-2) in the OCC-Buckeye behind champion Liberty (4-0-1). “We don’t have that one star player, but we have a bunch of good kids playing together. We have to take advantage of our opportunities when we have them.”

The Olentangy Orange High School Soccer Program has launched a new website to use as a resource for student-athletes, parents, and fans of the soccer program.
The boosters worked with a local web development firm, m2 marketing, to create a site specific to our needs. As we continue to build our program we will utilize the website as a communication tool, and as a way to share the highlights of our teams.
Although they admit it’s difficult to please all 32 member high schools, officials from the Ohio Capital Conference are satisfied with the realignment plan that was approved by an overwhelming margin Feb. 15.
