Jason Menicheschi made his triumphant return to the pitch on Tuesday night to join his fellow JPLers as they took on the Jesters at Twin Ponds in Mechanicsburg. After missing the first few games of the season, Menicheschi’s arrival was greeted with high-fives and excitement by all. In the 2006 season, Jason led Team JPL to two wins and secured the team’s scoring title.

After 25 minutes of scoreless soccer, Team Leftovers scored 3 goals in 5 minutes to take the lead and ultimately defeat JPL FC. “It was a learning experience for our team,” commented Team Captain Joe Tertel. “We had our chances early in the game and a few late in the game, but tonight we couldn’t buy a goal. Our team will learn from this and get better.”

The cheers of JPL, JPL, JPL rang through the Twin Ponds complex. Signs reading “Go JPL FC” and “Score a Goal for Me!” were seen in the stands. The JPL faithful came out to support Team JPL FC as they challenged Acceptable Aggression in last night’s soccer match.
