The Jefferson City Jays enter tonight’s regular-season finale against the Moberly Spartans sputtering of late on a two-game losing streak. But the Jays do not feel any added pressure as they prepare for tonight’s Homecoming matchup. “We are just looking to be our very best today, and hopefully that takes care of this week,” Jefferson City coach Damon Wells said. “They are all important to us. We face a pretty quality opponent, so it’s going to be a heck of a challenge.”
Coming off their lowest offensive output of the season, the Jefferson City Jays are ready to get back out on the field. The Jays have flushed their 24-6 loss to the Helias Crusaders and have their full attention centered on tonight’s matchup with the Battle Spartans.
The Helias Crusaders were a bit uncharacteristic in their play Monday night. It paid off with a victory. “We haven’t attacked the goal this season, but both of those goals came because we attacked the goal,” Helias coach Jon DeSha said after the Crusaders defeated the Jefferson City Jays 2-1 in Central Missouri Activities Conference soccer action at Jefferson City High School. “They were good goals.”
It’s a big game in deciding the Central Missouri Activities Conference champion. It definitely is for the city championship and the trophy that comes along with that. And it’s Jefferson City. “All focus and all eyes are on the biggest game of the year,” Helias coach Chris Hentges said as the Crusaders prepare to take on the Jefferson City Jays in a CMAC contest tonight at Ray Hentges Stadium.
The Jefferson City Jays enter tonight’s matchup on a three-game winning streak, but their biggest challenge of the season awaits. The Jays will travel down Stadium Boulevard tonight to take on the Helias Crusaders, looking for their first win in the series in just the fourth game between the two sides despite the long histories of the programs.
