Red Devils unable to repeat last year's ousting
of Morton
October 28, 2010
By BILL STONE bstone@pioneerlocal.com
SOCCER-- Hinsdale Central starting senior
defender and co-captain Andrew Worthington
perfectly summarized Friday's 1-0
double-overtime loss to top-seeded Morton in the
Class 3A Morton Regional final.
"Morton had their chances. We had our chances.
No regrets," Worthington said.
"It stinks to lose. It's tough to go out. But
there's not really a better way than that. It
was a fantastic season and we played a fantastic
game. Morton was a handful. I played my best.
Unfortunately, we didn't come out with the
result."
In an instant, the Red Devils' season of
progress with a relatively young lineup came to
an end when Morton's Ivan Chavez scored with 7
minutes, 52 seconds left in the second of four
10-minute sudden-death periods. Had the game
remained scoreless after 120 minutes, penalty
kicks would have decided the victor.
The Red Devils (11-8-2), the No. 7 seed in the
Argo Sectional, eliminated the Mustangs 1-0 in
last year's regional final with a goal in the
first overtime. Chavez scored for Morton
(20-3-3) by rebounding Joel Salmeron's shot
after the Red Devils cleared a ball at the side
of their goal into the center area.
"I thought we were terrific today, so it's too
bad (to have lost)," Hinsdale Central coach Mike
Wiggins said. "They're everything we thought
they'd be. Credit to (Morton) because they
earned it. I could probably tell you without
reservation that we would not be looking at a
0-0 game with Morton if you're looking at the
first four weeks of (our) season. Our guys
really had to reach deep down and give
everything they've got to hang with a team that
was very, very good."
The Red Devils almost won. In the 82nd minute,
sophomore Phil Gutman nearly scored a golden
goal off a throw-in by senior Taylor Cole, but
the uncontested shot in the crease went just
over the crossbar. Cole had a shot on goal just
15 seconds into the second overtime. The Red
Devils also had the better of the play
throughout the opening 20 minutes.
"We can point to a number of times throughout
the game where it could have gone either way,"
Wiggins said. "I thought there were stretches of
time where we were giving it to them and I
thought there were stretches where we were
hanging on. It's funny how the game plays out
that way."
The Red Devils bring back eight starters from a
team that started 6-6, including goalie Will
Meyer and midfielder Mitch Reavis as junior
co-captains. They will graduate the anchors of
the defensive line in Worthington and Mike
Oleferchik and midfielder and co-captain Taylor
Cole, a four-year starter and the only remaining
member of the fourth-place Class AA team from
2007.
"Our team motto was hard work beats talent if
talent fails to work hard. We knew if we worked
hard, we could beat any team on any given day,"
Worthington said. "If the junior class takes
what they learned this year and apply it, they
have a lot to look forward to. I hope we
(seniors) did our job leading by example."
Hinsdale Central beat No. 10 Argo 3-1 in the
regional semifinals Oct. 20.
Junior midfielder Gareth Parsons tied the game
4:22 before halftime after Reavis flicked along
Oleferchik's free kick. With 35:14 left, Reavis
scored the game winner with an open blast from
the center of the box off a pass by Parsons. It
was Reavis' first game since being injured at
York Oct. 5.
Lenny Zavala added a goal with 23:30 left off
Worthington's boot into the box. Meyer kept the
Red Devils ahead by pushing the Argonauts' only
second-half shot on goal over the crossbar with
31 minutes left.

Devils make cut in regional opener
October 21, 2010
By BILL STONE bstone@pioneerlocal.com
SOCCER -- Junior midfielder Gareth Parsons was
among the Hinsdale Central players who cut his
hair short Saturday in preparation for the Class
3A state playoffs.
“We kind of decided to do it as a team. Although
some people didn't, most of us decided,” Parsons
said.
The Red Devils nearly had a close shave in
Wednesday's Class 3A Morton Regional opener
after allowing an early goal to Argo, but
Parsons and junior midfielder Mitch Reavis
helped them rally for a 3-1 victory.
Hinsdale Central (11-7-2) the No. 7 seed in the
Argo Sectional, will play the top-seeded host
Mustangs (19-3-3) for the regional championship
at 4 p.m. Friday.
Parsons tied the game 4:22 before halftime after
Reavis flicked along Mike Oleferchik's free
kick. With 35:14 left, Reavis scored what proved
to be the game winner with an open blast from
the center of the box off a pass by Parsons. It
was Reavis' first game since being injured at
York Oct. 5.
“(Reavis) was calling for it. We did that a lot
in training, crossing and stuff so I knew where
he was going to be,” Parsons said.
“He assisted me and I assisted him. It was
pretty good. (My goal) was a bad shot, but it
went over (the goalie's) head. It picked us up a
little bit because letting up an early goal is
never nice. It was good to get on the board.”
The Red Devils' Lenny Zavala added a goal with
23:30 left off Andrew Worthington's boot into
the box. Goalie Will Meyer kept the Red Devils
ahead by pushing the No. 10-seeded Argonauts'
only second-half shot on goal with 31 minutes
left over the crossbar.

Hinsdale Central gains confidence with upset of
Downers Grove North
October 19, 2010
By BILL STONE bstone@pioneerlocal.com
SOCCER-- Hinsdale Central once again looks as if
it will be peaking at IHSA state-tournament
time.
"We're really excited and hoping to build on the
successes, and learn from the bad things that
happened. Apply all that and get it done in the
playoffs," Hinsdale Central senior defender Mike
Oleferchik said.
The Red Devils garnered momentum Oct. 12 when
they surprised area-ranked Downers Grove North
2-1 in Hinsdale in West Suburban Conference
Silver Division play.
Downers North was coming off a 4-3 victory Oct.
2 at Morton, the No. 1 seed in the Class 3A Argo
Sectional and the seventh-seeded Red Devils'
opponent at 4 p.m. Friday in Berwyn for the
regional title if they won Wednesday's opener
against No. 10 Argo.
"That was a really big one (to win) for sure,"
Oleferchik said. "I think the whole team made a
lot of good decisions with passing. We had a lot
of good anticipation on the field, and Will
Meyer had a really good game in goal."
Adam Chiramonte scored the winning goal for the
Red Devils (10-7-2, 3-3) with 32 minutes, 31
seconds left off a cross by Philip Gutman.
Oleferchik and the defense shut down Downers
North standout Paul Hogan, who averages more
than a goal per game. A.J. Jeffries converted
the penalty kick after he was fouled.
Oleferchik gave the Red Devils a 1-0 lead by
scoring on a free kick from 30 yards. The
Trojans (15-4-2, 3-3) tied the game later in the
first half.
"It was funny because (Hinsdale Central head
coach Mike Wiggins) was saying the day before at
practice I couldn't hit a ball to save my life,
and I came out and put that in, and it was
uplifting," Oleferchik said. "It was definitely
a confidence booster to score that one."
On Oct. 13, the Red Devils fell 2-1 at Glenbard
West by losing 4-2 in penalty kicks. The game
had been suspended on account of darkness Oct. 7
with the game tied 1-1 after the first of two
10-minute sudden-death overtimes. The defeat
left the Red Devils tied for third with Downers
North and York.
The Red Devils tied Addison Trail 2-2 in their
regular-season finale Oct. 14. Oleferchik, moved
to outside midfield during the game, assisted
the tying goal by Taylor Cole, who just returned
to the lineup. Gareth Parsons also scored
following a sideline throw-in.

Hinsdale Central roundup: Red Devils earn costly
victory
October 12, 2010
SOCCER-- Hinsdale Central paid the price for an
impressive West Suburban Conference Silver
Division victory Oct. 5.
Three starters were on the sidelines with
injuries Oct. 7 at Glenbard West after the Red
Devils' 4-0 victory at York two days earlier.
Goalie Will Meyer (ankle), Taylor Cole (hip) and
Mitch Reavis (ankle) joined Andrew Scott (back)
on the sidelines as the Red Devils and Glenbard
West remained tied 1-1 after one 10-minute
sudden-death overtime period before the game was
called because of darkness. It was scheduled to
be completed Wednesday.
The game's start was delayed about 30 minutes
because the Red Devils' bus arrived late. Reavis
had just been cleared to return playing after
receiving staples in his head going for a
headball against Sandburg Oct. 1.
"We're not in any hurry to get guys back. We're
one day at a time, one doctor's note at a time
and we'll look to what the next seven-to-10 days
look like," Hinsdale Central coach Mike Wiggins
said. "(The York game) was about as physical
game as I've ever seen."
Hinsdale Central (9-6, 2-2 in Silver) tied the
game with 20 minutes, 41 seconds left in the
first half as an unmarked defender Andrew
Worthington on the far post tapped in Gareth
Parsons' free kick from along the left sideline.
Glenbard West (3-10-5, 0-4) scored first amid
controversy when Mike Paravola converted a
direct kick from just outside the box after the
Red Devils believed it was an indirect kick and
had no time to adjust.
"I'm not happy about it, an official holding his
arm up, indicating an indirect kick, which
impacts how we organize ourselves defensively,"
Wiggins said. "No one's disputing that it wasn't
a direct kick but when you put your arm up and
saying that it's indirect, that's a problem."

Lyons Township maintains Silver Brick
September 28, 2010
By KEN RYAN kryan@pioneerlocal.com
SOCCER-- Lyons Township senior Kyle Kurfirst has
been in enough games against rival Hinsdale
Central to know the game is never over until the
final seconds tick off the clock.
So he wasn't surprised by the exciting turn of
events late in Tuesday's key West Suburban
Conference Silver Division showdown in Hinsdale.
Just 28 seconds after Hinsdale Central evened
the score, Kurfirst scored off an unbelievable
header with 4 minutes, 15 seconds remaining in
regulation to give LT a thrilling 3-2 victory.
"This is a big win," a calm and collected
Kurfirst said moments after the victory. "This
has always been a huge rivalry. No matter what
the situation going in, you always get the best
from each team. The energy was up on both sides.
It's just a good result for the team. Obviously,
I was happy that I was able to help the team
today, but getting the win is what matters
most."
Hinsdale Central senior Taylor Cole, who is as
familiar with the rivalry as anyone as a
four-year starter, sent the home crowd into a
frenzy when he scored off a header with 4:43
left to even the score at 2-2.
The lead didn't last long, however, when LT
sophomore Jack Thomas headed a pass to Kurfirst,
who sent a header of his own into the upper
right-hand corner of the net off a tough angle
for the game-winner.
"I went from really excited to just mad and
disappointed," Cole said. "They're always tough.
We just got unlucky in the end and shouldn't
have given up that goal in the end."
LT (11-1-2, 3-0 in Silver) was presented with a
Silver Brick that is given annually to the
winner of the conference game between the two
teams.
The series that dates back to 1975 is now even
at 19-19-4. LT won 3-0 last year and then
rallied twice to pull out a 3-2 win in the
sectional final en route to winning the
program's first state championship.
"To describe emotions is not doing justice to
what is so great about this rivalry," Hinsdale
Central coach Mike Wiggins said. "It's just
great for the kids. Everything that goes into
this game from records, to previous matches and
anything leading up to today's date really just
goes out the window. What a great game, well
played on both sides. LT is fantastic. I felt
there were more than moments in time where we
had the run of play. We battled back and all in
all for our guys we did extremely well. It's
just a shame we couldn't hold off that third
goal. What a gutsy game by Taylor Cole to just
really step up his level of play and hat's off
to Kurfirst for scoring that goal."
LT led 2-1 after an action-packed first half.
The Lions struck first when Kurfirst headed in a
ball off an assist from Peter Kralovec-Kirchherr
that the Red Devils weren't able to clear in
front of the goal.
Hinsdale Central (6-6, 1-2 in Silver), which has
lost three straight and five of its last six
games, answered just 3:42 later when Cole took a
pass from Lenny Zavala on the right side and
crossed a shot past diving LT goalkeeper Kevin
Beglen (5 saves) to even the score at 1-1.
LT regained the lead with 14:45 remaining in the
opening half when sophomore Brett Heimerdinger
knocked the ball into the back of the net off an
assist from Kurfirst to make the score 2-1.
That's where the score remained until the
exciting final five minutes of the contest.
LT coach Paul Labbato wasn't fazed by Hinsdale
Central's late tying goal.
"I don't react anymore," Labbato said. "It's the
rivalry and we're not going to have a blowout
with this team on most occasions. Hats off to
our guys to take the kick off come down and get
what may have been one of the best goals I've
seen this year. This is a big game for our kids
with the brick, the rivalry and the (sectional)
seeding."
LT was coming off an impressive 1-0 win over
Marquette Park University High School Saturday
in Milwaukee, Wis.
Horacio Sanchez scored the lone goal of the game
for the Lions, while Beglen made seven saves to
get the shutout.
LT beat Glenbard West 3-0 Sept. 23 in a Silver
contest. Kurfirst, Sanchez and Sean Davy each
had a goal for the Lions. Max Hadley and
Jeremiah Enright combined on the shutout.
Hinsdale Central lost to Naperville Central 3-2
Saturday in Hinsdale on a goal in the final
minute and 2-1 to visiting Oak Park-River Forest
in Silver action Sept. 21.
The game against OPRF was ended prematurely by
lightning with about 10 minutes left. The Red
Devils took a 1-0 lead in the first half when
Andrew Worthington scored off a free kick by
Gareth Parsons.
Against Naperville Central, the Red Devils took
a 1-0 halftime lead as defender Worthington used
his height to knock in a free kick by Mike
Oleferchik. Another Oleferchik free kick
resulted in a goal by Lenny Zavala for a 2-1
lead.

Film room pays dividends for young Devils
September 7, 2010
By BILL STONE bstone@pioneerlocal.com
BOYS SOCCER-- Senior Andrew Worthington wants to
provide leadership for Hinsdale Central this
season as a team captain.
"Just leading by example, hard work, talking to
everybody, communicating, always standing up,
working hard in practice. That's the most
important one, always giving 100 percent in
practice," Worthington said.
With just four returning starters from last
year's IHSA Class 3A Sweet-16 finisher, the Red
Devils have many areas to grow.
They took a big step on Sept. 1 without even
touching a soccer ball. The mission was to learn
by watching film of the previous day's 2-1 loss
to rival Hinsdale in Red Group action of the
annual Red Devil Cup.
The immediate result was a 3-1 victory over
Oswego East Sept. 2.
"We watched a lot. We learned a lot. It was a
bit demoralizing. It showed us we can't look
past anybody," Worthington said. "(The Oswego
East game) was a huge turnaround for us. We
think we've got down the right mindset. Now all
we have to do is (to) mimic it for every single
game."
The Red Devils (4-1) cost themselves a chance to
play in Saturday afternoon's championship game
against Morton (4-0-1) by losing to Hinsdale
South (2-3-1) for the second straight year.
In Saturday's group finales, the Red Devils beat
Lincoln-Way East 3-1 while Hinsdale South lost
at Oswego East 4-1. The Red Devils and Hornets
tied for first in the group with 2-1 records,
but the Hornets advanced based on head-to-head
record. Morton won the championship match 6-0.
The Red Devils played technically sound in a 2-1
victory Aug. 28 at Tremper (Kenosha, Wis.), even
with three players out of position and four-year
starter Taylor Cole leaving with a slight hip
injury that kept him out of last week's action.
"For the most part, we saw a different attitude
(Sept. 2), a different approach, a remarkable
difference in (winning) balls in the air,"
Hinsdale Central head coach Mike Wiggins said.
"It was two hours of film work because there was
literally two hours to review, and we didn't go
over everything."
Two minutes after entering as a substitute,
Aaron Cheever scored first against Oswego East
15 minutes, 31 seconds before halftime. He
intercepted the ball and dribbled about 30 yards
unchallenged.
Gareth Parsons scored five minutes into the
second half off a pass by Mark Tyler. Sophomore
Connor Oleferchik made it 3-0 with 24:40 left
off a corner kick by his brother, senior
defender and returning starter Mike Oleferchik.
Connor entered the game just before the restart.
"That was pretty exciting. He's going to be
happy," Mike Oleferchik said. "This is the first
time we've ever played together. It's a really
special experience, me and him on the same
field, and I definitely try to look for him."
Wiggins noted, "It was really just a great,
great effort from everybody. Mark Tyler
continues to get better and better. Andrew
Worthington leads us in the back line and is
doing a terrific job. We're real happy with our
young guys."
Interior starters for last year's defense,
Worthington and Mike Oleferchik are now side by
side but with Oleferchik at left back. The
team's tallest player at 6-foot-2, Worthington
is moving up more this season to increase
scoring options for restarts.
"Last year, we had a lot more size. This year,
not so much," Worthington said. "(Oleferchik and
I) played the whole entire year together, so
we've got some chemistry. We're a good team.
Defense is the most important thing for us at
practice."

Hinsdale Central soccer team opens 2010 campaign
with win
By Scott Schmid, sschmid@mysuburbanlife.com
Suburban Life Publications
Posted Aug 25, 2010 @ 12:08 PM
Hinsdale, IL —
Hinsdale Central's boys soccer team began the
season in fine fashion on Tuesday, defeating
Metea Valley 2-0 in Hinsdale.
Leondro Perez scored both goals for the Red
Devils while Mitch Reavis had an assist.
"The game provided many teachable moments," said
coach Mike Wiggins, "that will only help us as
we look to October. Every game for us in our
approach gives us feedback on how well we
prepare each week. It wasn't a well played game
for us from an attacking perspective. Too many
turnovers but that comes with the excitement and
effort from a first game."

Perez's
double lifts Red Devils
August 24, 2010
BY BEN MEYER-ABBOTT
Taylor Cole and Mitch Reavis create a lot of
confusion for opposing defenses. It’s Leondro
Perez’s job to see through the chaos.
Perez poached rebound goals in the first and
second half as his markers attempted to deal
with dangerous balls into the box Tuesday in a
2-0 victory for host No. 9 Hinsdale Central over
varsity-newcomer Metea Valley in the Red Devils'
season opener.
“That’s me just being a forward,” said Perez,
who scored in the 34th and 59th minutes. “I saw
their goalies were having some trouble holding
on to our hard shots and made sure I was ready
to go for the rebounds.”
Midfielders Cole and Reavis also did well to
find outside defenders Phillip Gutman and Mike
Oleferchik making attacking runs along the
sidelines throughout the game and helped to
create the chances on which Perez capitalized.
“We’ve been working on the outside backs going
up all week in practice,” Cole said. “With them
getting forward we were able to create a lot of
movement in the offensive end that [Perez]
benefited from.”
Goalie Will Meyer (five saves) was impressive,
corralling several high crosses for Hinsdale
Central (1-0). Gabriel Gongora (save) and Derek
Carothers (three saves) split time in net for
Metea Valley (1-1), which suffered its first
loss at the varsity level.
“We learned a little bit about the intensity and
physicality of the varsity game today,” Metea
Valley coach Josh Robinson said. “We did good
job getting close to matching them in the second
half. But [Hinsdale Central] definitely came out
with a lot of pressure early that was tough for
us to deal with.”

Central
Soccer Preview: Expectations unchanged for young
squad
August 24, 2010
• COACH: Mike Wiggins (121-55-16 in 8 seasons;
218-122-43 in 16 seasons overall)
• 2009 RESULTS: 16-7-2 overall, 5-1 in West
Suburban Conference Silver Division (2nd place);
lost to Lyons Township 3-2 (2 OT) in Class 3A
Hinsdale Central Sectional final n RETURNING
STARTERS: Seniors Taylor Cole, midfielder (2
goals, 8 assists in 2009); Mike Oleferchik,
defender (goal, 3 assists); and Andrew
Worthington, defender (assist); and junior Mitch
Reavis, midfielder (6 goals, 6 assists)
• OTHER VARSITY RETURNEES: Senior Michael
Hrisstov, forward (assist); and junior Will
Meyer, goalie
• VARSITY NEWCOMERS: Senior Steve Gianakas,
midfielder; juniors Aaron Cheever, forward; Alex
Chiaramonte, defender; Zach Chiaramonte,
midfielder; R.J. Dralle, defender; Gareth
Parsons, forward; Leondro Perez, forward; Andrew
Scott, defender; Mark Tyler, midfielder; and
Killian Wagner, forward; and sophomores Phillip
Gutman, defender; Mike Krohn, forward; and
Connor Oleferchik, forward
• OUTLOOK: The Red Devils have a relatively
young lineup in terms of varsity experience, but
their expectations haven't changed for another
successful season and peaking come playoff time.
Cole, Worthington, Reavis and Meyer are this
year's team captains with Worthington, Reavis
and Meyer also J. Kyle Braid Foundation
recipients.
The season opener was scheduled for Tuesday
against Metea Valley. The annual Red Devil Cup
begins Aug. 31 with pool play against Hinsdale
South.
"It's a hard-working group, probably the hardest
working group I've had since I've been here,"
Wiggins said. "They don't fall short of a high
energy level and spirit. They're very positive.
On that end, we've been very happy. Now it's
time to take that and channel it into something
that'll work. We have a good group to work with
so that makes for a good combination."
Last year was another perfect example of the Red
Devils' plan. After losing to rival LT 3-0 Sept.
29 in the annual Silver Brick game at a packed
Bennett Field, the Red Devils took LT to the
limit in a memorable sectional final that was
moved to Naperville North because of poor field
conditions. It was the longest playoff game in
the Lions' trek to their first boys soccer state
championship.
Cole is a fourth-year starter, Reavis was last
year's No. 2 scorer and Oleferchik and
Worthington were part of another stingy defense.
Meyer played in eight games, starting two,
behind graduated standout Jack O'Donnell, and
Hrisstov played in six games with one start
before a season-ending injury.
"(Our key) is just keeping up that spirit and
energy that we've showed up to this point,"
Wiggins said. "The way we line up now doesn't
mean it's the way we'll line up at the end of
the year. The goal is to be prepared at the end
of the year. It's a constant assessment of the
players."
Cole was second in assists last season and has
career totals of four goals and 14 assists. The
projected center midfielder was a key
contributor in the Red Devils' 2007 fourth-place
Class AA finish and 2008 state quarterfinal
finish.
A third-year varsity Reavis may be counted on
for more offensive punch after being second to
graduated Michael Oleszkiewicz's 19 goals and
five assists.
"What we're looking for from (Cole) is a
leadership role more by example. We need him to
demonstrate composure in stressful situations,"
Wiggins said. "What we need from (Reavis) is
more responsibility from an attacking point of
view. He's a very capable player who is going to
go on and have a great future."
Defensively, Oleferchik and Worthington give the
Red Devils a good base to create the best
formation possible. Other early possibilities
include Alex Chiaramonte and Gutman, one of four
sophomores on the roster.
"Those two players (Oleferchik and Worthington)
are smart enough tactically and technically to
make adjustments," Wiggins said.
Going for their first Silver title since 2006,
the Red Devils will be challenged by LT and
area-rated Downers Grove North. The Silver Brick
game versus LT is Sept. 28 at Centennial Field.
• QUOTABLE: "For this group, really just what
we're looking for is a soccer personality, a
style of play, and we're still looking for
that," Wiggins said. "We need to get the first
game out of the way for a sense of where we're
at. (Assistant coach Michael Smith) and I are
eager to get the first game under way to get a
feeling of what the shortcomings are and where
we need to move forward."
