Haven's Beck-Cullen is lights out

No, he's not Superman. Ask him. Kelsey Beck-Cullen will tell you he's not invincible.

But he's doing his best Brad Lidge impersonation.

The Strath Haven goalkeeper (pictured) has been lights out for the Panthers this season, posting a county-best seven shutouts through the season's first three weeks. And to think that he had been a varsity newbie at season's onset.

To read more about Beck-Cullen's stunning success, take a look at this week's installment of the boys soccer notebook.

Other cool stuff featured in the notebook include:
  • Updates on Chichester's Zach Woods, who suffered a concussion Tuesday in a game against Penn Wood. His coach, Kingsley Donaldson, said Woods should be back on the pitch after a two-week respite.
  • Where is Lower Merion's Greg Robbins headed to college?
  • Where have all the unbeaten teams gone?
  • Who's leading Sun Valley through some difficult times?

And much more, only in the Daily Times.

Chichester's Woods recovering

Chichester boys soccer player Zach Woods is recovering Wednesday after suffering a "severe concussion" a day earlier in a game against Penn Wood.

His coach, Kingsley Donaldson, said Woods will see a specialist later this week. Donaldson expects Woods to miss up to two weeks while recovering. Donaldson, who has suffered a couple concussions during his playing career, said it would take a doctor's orders for Woods to return to the pitch.

"In Jamaica, it's not like it is here," said Donaldson. "Here, there are medical lawsuits all over the place. We want to make sure Zachary is OK before he returns to play."

For more on Woods, check out the weekly boys soccer notebook in Thursday's Daily Times.
