Kaydan Addie, So., Platteville/Lancaster boys soccer

     Platteville sophomore Kaydan Addie stands alone as the greatest single-match goal scorer in Platteville/Lancaster boys soccer history.

Addie, who led the Hillmen with 10 goals a year ago as a freshman, scored a program record six in last Tuesday’s 11–1 rout of host River Valley and even assisted on a goal. He is this week’s Mast Water Technology SWNews4U.com Athlete of the Week.

“It was kind of a reversion to the mean thing,” said Hillmen head coach Brandon Pink. “He’s been playing really well over the last few games; his shots just haven’t been falling. They sure fell Tuesday night.”

Lancaster sophomore Issac Oyen scored on a pass from Reinicke in the 14th minute, before Addie scored in the 25th and 28th on feeds from Oyen and Reinicke. Addie assisted on an Oyen goal just before the half to give the Hillmen a commanding 5–0 lead.

Addie then scored in the 53rd, 54th and 62nd minute to set the Hillmen single-match record of six goals before taking a breather the rest of the night.

Coach Pink wasn’t even aware of the team record. 

“I didn’t even know if it was a school record for sure,” said Pink. “My guess was that Jesse Brown probably hit six in a game or two in the mid 2000s or maybe Adam Stanton in the late 2000s.”

In fact, Addie holds the record alone. He eclipsed Brown’s record of five in a match, set twice during the 2004 season, when Brown scored a single-season school record 35 goals and led the Hillmen to a 19–3 mark and berth in the WIAA Division 2 sectional semifinals. Brown is still Platteville/Lancaster’s all-time leading scorer with 88 goals, 59 assists and 235 points.

Stanton twice tallied four goals in a single match during his career. Stanton finished his four-year varsity career second in Hillmen history with 67 goals, 35 assists and 169 points.

Two days later, Addie kept his hot streak going with a hat trick in Platteville/Lancaster’s 4–0 conference victory over visiting Richland Center in a make-up match from Sept. 6.
