Panthers drown Pirates 7-0

RANGELY — The Rangely Panthers soccer team gave the visiting Olathe Pirates an April Fool’s surprise at Yaeger Field beating them 7-0. The win came after a 3-0 loss to Vail Mountain in Vail last Thursday when the Panthers were outshot 22 to 8. They took it out on Olathe Tuesday afternoon.
Senior Whitney Chumacero opened up the scoring in the first half and the rest of the Panthers played tough defense.
“The girls started out a bit weak but picked it up,” head coach Kris Denny explained. Pick it up they did. The Panthers never looked back once the second half of the game began.
The second goal of the game was a long shot that sailed over the head of the Olathe goalie, putting the girls up 2-0 with lots of time left. And they took advantage of it.
The third goal was a rebound out front of the Olathe net. The fourth, a corner kick deflection. The Panthers changed their goalie from junior Hillary Hayes, who had seen almost no action, to freshmen Torie Slagle.
Freshman Mikayla Schoenfeld helped out on the fifth goal when she snaked her way around an Olathe defender, made the pass out front and Chumacero slammed it home. Nothing to it. They scored another to make it 6-0 and right at the buzzer, a seventh for the 7-0 final.
Chumacero boasted 14 shots on net and scored three goals in the game. Her favorite was one goal in particular. “My corner kick one was pretty sweet.”
Schoenfeld had 11 shots on net, with one goal. Senior Hannah Walz also played a great game, totaling nine shots on net with one goal.
“I kicked at it as I was falling and it went in,” she explained.
Rangely out shot Olathe 53 to 2.
The Panthers take on the Coal Ridge Titans today at home starting at 4 p.m.

  • Mormon crickets have hatched near Rangely. They were all sighted on BLM land north of Hwy. 64 near the junction of CR 96 and CR 1, down a dirt road near the Moffat County line.  The picture shown was taken yesterday by Mary Meinen from Rangely. She says the crickets are about the size of a ladybug (less than 1/2”). Some of them are actually yellow in color but most of them are darker. They are milling around and getting ready to start moving soon. Note: Photo is not to scale.
Rio Blanco County and the White River and Douglas Creek Conservation Districts are still asking for your help to identify additional hatch-outs of crickets so that control efforts can be put in place. The success of the program will highly depend upon local landowners and the public helping to locate crickets as soon as they hatch.  See last week’s paper for a list of ways to help or contact the County Weed & Pest District at 970-878-9670 or the Conservation District office at 970-878-9838 with any questions.
