Neenah Rockets taking off at just the right time

Don't look now, but it appears that the Neenah boys’ soccer team has regained some of its mojo at just the right time.

The Rockets have rebounded from a slow start to the season and have been one of the hottest teams in the state over the last month. Neenah kept that momentum going in a 6-1 victory over Appleton East in a Fox Valley Association match at Pickett Field on Tuesday.

Neenah had won 10 games in a row following its sluggish start, but saw that streak come to an end in a 1-1 tie against Kettle Moraine at the Kettle Moraine Invitational this past weekend. The Rockets also upended seventh-ranked Brookfield East 3-1 in that tournament.

Call it confidence. Call it swagger. Whatever it is, the Rockets look like a completely different team than the one that struggled in late August, including a humbling 6-1 home loss to Kimberly.Cheap heelshoes online store, discount nike air max and nike free run shoes on sale.

“After Kimberly, we got back to practice and (Neenah coach Harry Kelderman) said it’s not going to happen again,” Neenah junior midfielder Adam Pohlman said. “He said, ‘We’re not going to lose that bad again.’

“We just regrouped and now we’re playing better. We beat Brookfield East and tied Kettle Moraine. We’re just playing good soccer right now.”

Neenah lost 13 seniors from 2011, including eight starters, which meant the Rockets had to take on some growing pains as some of the inexperienced players adjusted to varsity play.

“I think what we’ve had to do is take it a step at a time,” Kelderman said.Buynikeshoesat Great Prices. “We would bring it up two rungs on the ladder and come back one, bring it up two and bring it down one. But we’re moving in the right direction. It’s coming together at the right time.
