Grayslake Central blasts
past Grayslake North
Early goals pace 4-0 win, D. Marynevych, Fein post big nights
By Tom Hamilton II
GRAYSLAKE – Last Friday, Grayslake Central’s raucous student section raised the volume all night as their football team recorded its first win in 10 years over crosstown rival Grayslake North.
“Gang Green” -- led by Grayslake Central soccer’s senior captains Ben Berry and Marko Marynevych -- brought an electric atmosphere all evening, and they were rewarded with a performance for the ages from their undefeated football program.
On Tuesday, the gridiron Rams came out in full force to reciprocate for their soccer team in their as they hosted their rivalry match. The soccer and football teams might have traded places for the evening, but both matches shared an electric atmosphere in common, with dynamic offense, crunching tackles and plenty of highlights.
Perhaps most importantly, the Grayslake Central football team also shared the honor of congratulating their soccer counterparts on an impressive win.
The futbol Rams (4-4-0; 2-0-0) ran rampant, roaring to a three-goal lead in the opening 13 minutes and finished with a 4-0 Northern Lake County Conference home win over Grayslake North (0-6-1; 0-2-0). Junior striker Daniel Marynevych scored a first half hat-trick, while sophomore Mitchell Fein – the Chicagoland Soccer Man of the Match -- tallied four assists for Grayslake Central. Junior winger Alan Alonso chipped in the fourth goal midway through the second half.
“The atmosphere was electric,” reflected Grayslake Central head coach Keith Andersson, whose Rams picked up their first home win of the season. “I have to give a big shout-out to [Grayslake Central football head coach] Mike [Maloney]. He did an amazing job and tweeted out to get all the football players here.
“It was just an amazing atmosphere. I can’t say ‘thank you’ enough. The kids loved it. You could tell when they started cheering, it ramped [the team] up. It was amazing to watch [the fans] just totally change the atmosphere.”
“The atmosphere is so much better with fans,” noted Fein, who padded his assist total to five for the season and nine in his nascent varsity career before a crowd of more than 150 fans. “Last year we played in 10 or so games and we had, like, two fans at most. [The team] scoring a goal and hearing the crowd is just so much better.”
Rams fans didn’t have to wait long to celebrate. From the kickoff, the young but experienced Rams elected to circulate the ball along the backline. A young, hard-working Grayslake North team surged forward in numbers in an attempt to hem the Rams in with early pressure.
However the hosts quickly found a way through the pressure up the right flank. After collecting a pass from his defense, Fein turned, looked upfield and slotted a beautiful through-ball up the flank for the electric junior Marynevych. The speedster latched onto the pass, cut inside sharply after beating his mark, and fired a hard, low shot into the far-side netting.
The fans who were still filing into Eiserman Stadium were surprised to see a 1-0 lead with less than a minute gone on the scoreboard.
Four minutes later, the Rams doubled their lead.
A series of quick, sharp passes allowed the Rams to break the intense pressure of Grayslake North’s hard-running strike tandem of junior Gavin Congalton and senior Connor Johnson, Grayslake Central’s Alonso received a pass about 40 yards from his own goal and played a tantalizing diagonal ball upfield to Fein, who nodded the ball precisely into the onrushing path of the Rams’ goal-scorer. Once again he left his mark behind with searing pace, charged straight down the middle of the field, and slotted the ball past Knights junior goalkeeper Chase Bollinger (six saves).
Grayslake North responded by redoubling their efforts to apply immediate pressure on the Rams, but the hosts kept finding space with quick, two-touch, lateral passing. That formula for success soon set up the third goal in the 13th minute.
After a dizzying spell of possession that started from the backline and ended with a Knights clearance inside their own penalty area, Fein trotted out to the edge of the field for a Grayslake Central corner kick. Fein’s pinpoint cross found striker Marynevych at the far post, where he made no mistake with a first-time header for his team-leading 10th goal of the season.
The crosstown showdown is clearly an event the scorer has circled on his calendar. The three goals took his career goal tally against Grayslake North to seven, an accomplishment that clearly fills him with pride.
“It feels amazing just to be able to do that for my team, represent our school like that, and get that win against our rivals,” Marynevych beamed.
Coach Andersson was full of praise for his hat-trick hero.
“We’ve got Daniel up-front, who’s just an immediate threat,” he said. “You can’t not let him go. He’s like a wild stallion: you open the gate, and it’s ‘good luck catching him.’”
While Marynevych might have made it look easy with his classy finishing, much of that success stems from the sophisticated understanding that he and Fein have forged together.
“A lot of the time, [he and I] hook up very well with the passing,” explained Fein, who has thrived as a bona fide two-way threat.
The game evened out a bit after the third goal. Grayslake North’s gifted senior center back Owen Holevas worked tirelessly to establish a cohesive defensive shape to allow the Knights to stem the bleeding. That emerging solidity allowed the guests to earn some deep free kicks, but Holevas’ impressive long balls into the box were repeatedly collected by Grayslake Central’s goalkeeper Uriel Garcia Perez (three saves).
The sophomore benefited from older brother and junior center back Eric Garcia Perez and fellow junior defender Lucas Veenstra providing constant communication, tenacity and anticipation to limit the Knights to set piece opportunities on the occasions when they were able to get past the relentless Rams midfielders. Coach Andersson noted that the Garcia Perez brothers have been playing “lights out” so far this season, and he also offered special praise for Veenstra and his fellow defenders, senior Sean Morrissey and sophomore Nick Molochnikov. The shutout was the group’s second in a row after a 3-0 win at Mundelein on Saturday.
The Grayslake Central defense got a big boost from the elder Marynevych, Berry, junior Ray Sereno, and senior Lafuntae Floyd, who gave no quarter in the middle of the pitch. The relentless quartet often won back possession before the Knights could move the ball across the halfway line.
Grayslake North’s sophomore Chris Fabela, a pacey, industrious midfielder, worked hard to match his rivals’ intensity, though the few opportunities he was able to conjure for his teammates were stymied.
Despite the Knights’ efforts, the next significant opportunity would fell to Grayslake Central in the 30th minute. Some sublime footwork from Floyd allowed the midfielder to glide out of tight pressure and burst into the defensive half of the field. The attackers weaved a passing sequence that opened up space for Fein. The midfielder took a touch inside from 17 yards on the right and fired a low, dipping shot towards the far post. North’s Bollinger sprawled out at full stretch to parry the awkward shot, which deflected off the upright and out of play.
Floyd’s night featured a seemingly unending string of highlight reel plays. He threw his slight frame into challenges with full force to win the ball, then use his exceptional close control to shimmy out of pressure and start a counterattack.
“Basically, I just calm myself down,” Floyd answered when asked about his ability to wriggle out of tight pressure. “I just count to three, shoulder check, and then I’ll just be composed on the ball.”
This was Floyd’s first crosstown matchup in front of fans, and he credited the atmosphere for raising his game to the next level.
“It was amazing,” said Floyd. “Playing in the midfield and winning the ball, I love people screaming my name, screaming our names, and cheering us on. It was amazing.”
The dying minutes of the first half featured a brief letup from the hosts that allowed chances to create a few more free kicks. Holevas, a technically gifted, composed and experienced leader for the retooling Knights, served in inviting crosses on each free kick. However, the Garcia Perez brothers commanded their penalty area with aplomb and preserved the 3-0 lead at the break.
Both teams rotated players more frequently in the second half, though the Rams started the half much like they did the game. The younger Marynevych received a pass in his own half, took a slick touch to turn out of pressure, and sent a weighted through ball into space behind the Grayslake North backline for Floyd to gather after a well-timed run. As he squared his shoulders and prepared to strike, the fearless Bollinger arrived just in time to smother the ball near the top of the Knights penalty area.
After weathering yet another round of relentless Rams pressure that required two courageous challenges from Grayslake North senior Eoin Buckley -- the Knights created a couple half-chances thanks to some impressive pressure from Fabela, Johnson, and senior midfielder Josh Shin.
One attack came after a dangerous cross into traffic evaded the younger Garcia Perez’s grasp. However Grayslake North senior midfielder Dylan Clausen -- who provided gritty, unceasing effort all night -- could not place his first-time half-volley on frame.
The game grew into an end-to-end pattern with each team finding opportunities on corner kicks and counterattacks. Grayslake North’s Fabela became an increasingly dangerous threat as the game wore on. He managed to send Johnson through behind the Rams defense and then dribbled his way into an opportunity minutes later in a breathtaking display of speed and cunning.
However, both opportunities were denied by the resolute Rams.
Fabela’s never-say-die attitude in the game mirrors his team’s philosophy after enduring a steep learning curve with their tough early schedule.
“We’re going to keep on fighting for our journey,” Fabela declared. “We bring a lot of energy, but sometimes it doesn’t go our way. We’ll keep on fighting.”
Despite the valiant efforts of Fabela and his crew, the Rams rounded out the scoring in the 63rd minute. Once again, it would be Fein who played the role of provider.
He received a pass deep in his own half while the Grayslake North backline had stepped high upfield to support the team’s high-press efforts. Grayslake Central’s Alonso, who had stunned the home supporters with several breathtaking dribbles up the flanks up to that point, saw the space behind the Knights’ backline and loudly commanded Fein to release him upfield. Alonso picked up a pinpoint long pass in space and rifled past the oncoming Knights goalkeeper for his third of the season.
“A lot of the time, I won’t even be looking at the person that I’m passing to,” Fein explained. “Alan would just yell my name, and I would hear it and pass it to where I think he was. He happened to be there, and he got a good finish.”
As the game wound down, Grayslake Central endured a stretch of pressure from the increasingly frustrated Knights, who threw numbers forward to lock down the Rams into their defensive third. Clausen, Fabela, and Johnson showed tremendous character in fighting to create chances in spite of the deficit, but the Rams defense held firm.
That stout defending came in large part thanks to Berry, Grayslake Central’s jack of all trades. He started the match as a pivot in central midfield for his team’s passing sequences but switched to an assured, physically imposing center back role for the last 15 minutes of play.
Grayslake North did find one more opportunity in the final minutes after the indefatigable Johnson did well to find space behind the Grayslake Central backline. However, the Rams young goalkeeper courageously charged off his line and claimed the ball at Johnson’s feet before he could strike it. It was one of several moments on the night when Garcia Perez risked his body to stop a Knights attack before a shot could be fired.
Grayslake Central created the final opportunity of the match, demonstrating the kind of ruthless commitment to scoring that has led the team to score a whopping 19 goals in their last four matches. The younger Marynevych surged up the left sideline and whipped a cross in for senior striker Michael Lawson, who headed the ball into Bollinger’s arms just as time expired.
The performance was just what Andersson wanted after he note issues in the win against Mundelein.
“We had a rough game against Mundelein, and we sat [the team] down, showed them film, and said ‘This is what we’re not doing,’” Andersson reflected. “They actually came out yesterday in practice and understood what we’re looking for. Today, [assistant] coach Nieder and I just sat back; they did everything, and they really did it without us having to say a word.
“It’s been exciting to watch. That’s the best part as a coach, because you can just sit back and truly enjoy it. It’s a beautiful game.”
Grayslake North head coach Adam Decaluwe noted that his work in progress has been hampered by a myriad of setbacks thus far.
“We’re working on getting healthy and getting the full team together that we have yet to see all season long,” he said. “We haven’t had a full team for a single practice. Every day it’s a scramble.
“Coming out here against these guys that are very, very good -- very organized and disciplined -- we’re struggling,” he continued. “We gave up some soft goals -- not soft, but goals that should have been prevented in the opening five minutes. We were shooting ourselves in the foot before the game even got started.”
In spite of the frustrating early results, Decaluwe sees value in the struggles his young men have battled bravely.
“We’ve been learning lessons, playing tough teams all season long,” Decaluwe reflected. “We like that, because it’s going to prepare us for tough games, but it hasn’t allowed us to find any confidence or rhythm either.”
The Knights will look to earn their first victory of the season on Thursday when they travel to McHenry. Grayslake Central faces a tough test when they try to extend their four-match winning streak against 16th-ranked Warren at home on Thursday.
