It's over but not without a good fight!

W's HS soccer career is over!

First round of Regional Playoffs

Boy! did it go out with a spectacular game!

If they were going to lose this was the way to do it.



It was really a repeat of last week's game but without the rain




The game was 0-0 at the end of regular play (80 minutes).

0-0 at the end of OT #1 (10 minutes)

0-0 at the end of OT#2 (10 minutes)

0-0 at the end of OT#3 (5 minutes)

0-0 at the OT#4 (5 minutes)

If you not doing the math I'll tell you that's 110 minutes of play!

That meant that we went to Penalty kicks ~

one keeper in the box and one kicker standing 18 feet away

(best of 5 kicks)

When the kicker is THAT close the keeper just has guess which way he thinks the ball is going to go and dive that way. It's just a guessing game!

W didn't save any of them, and his teammates didn't make any of their kicks

They lost 1-0PK's

It was heart breaking!

W felt like that was the best game he'd ever played
and
was able sit with us and talk about it last night
(there have been games where he didn't talk about it until the next day)
