Undermanned Putnam girls lose to Pirates in OT BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER EDITOR PUTNAM — With only 13 players on its roster the Putnam High girls soccer team can ill afford to lose any players to inju- ry or disqualification. So when a Clipper was red-carded late in regulation play and tossed from Monday’s match against Parish Hill the results were predictable. “It’s tough. We start the game with two subs and then we got the red card. It doesn’t help that much,” said Putnam High coach Tommy Derosier. Tied 1-1 after regulation and with only 10 players on its side, Putnam ran out of gas at 12:59 of sudden death overtime, allowing an own goal and falling 2-1 to Parish Hill at St. Marie Greenhalgh Complex on Sept. 17. “The girls, they have heart. They tried their hardest the whole time,” Derosier said. “I’m very proud of the way they played today.” With a limited roster, most of Putnam’s players never get a breather and it took its toll on the Clippers against Parish Hill. “They just don’t give up,” Derosier said. “When it comes down to the end they always give that extra bit. That’s all Charlie Lentz photo I ask I ask for from them.
