Is the Davie JV soccer team beginning to gel? Maybe so after the War Eagles defeated Lexington and North Davidson last week.

Davie did not trail in either game. At home on Sept. 3, Ivan Bustamente and Ronald Perez provided a 2-0 lead over the Lexington Yellow Jackets, who got their only goal on a penalty kick with three minutes to go. Actually, all three goals were PKs.

“We dominated the ball,” coach Chris Ferger said. “We should have had more goals than we did. We were passing the ball really good.”

Bustamente, a freshman striker, gave Davie a 1-0 halftime lead.

“He works hard, keeps his head down and takes his chances whenever it’s given to him,” Ferger said.

The next successful PK came from Perez, a sophomore who is like a coach on the field.

“He’s real coachable and he knows how to keep the boys in line whenever they need to be held accountable,” Ferger said.

The defenders who helped Davie get its first win were Eric Martinez, Anthony Ramirez and Alex Ramirez.

“We didn’t give them too many chances, so our defense was definitely working,” he said.

Davie 3, North 1

Davie kept the good vibes going at North Davidson on Sept. 5.

Adren Davis opened the scoring in the first half, and after North tied it in the second half, Bustamente and R. Perez scored to lift Davie to 2-1-1.

Just as important as the goals, Davie got good play from midfielders Emmanuel Perez, Davis and Jaden Godbey; defender Martinez; and goalie Porter Spann.

“Eric did really good,” Ferger said. “He kept his composure. Porter was the one who kept the communication going. I’m really glad to have him. Without him, I don’t know where we’d be.”
