Game 17 (15-2)
29 October at home vs. Basehor-Lindwood in the Region I semi-finals (10-0)
And so it begins . . . we hadn't played in 12 days, and it showed a little early I thought. Also, Basehor came out with a plan as they packed it in well, looking for a few counters. That approach limited us pretty well during the first half.
We did move into a 3-5-2 fairly quickly, but still, we struggled some trying to create quality opportunities. BWhite named Max Bryson the BWhite Player of the Match because he probably did the best job of showing us how to attack. His play along the left flank got us two of our first-half goals, one a t-ball, and one a nice d-ball to Parker.
We did play everyone, with sophomore Mark Mason and junior Nick Garcia, getting their first varsity minutes. Mark even picked up an assist on a nice head flick off a Parker throw-in. And Nick was part of a group of 6 defenders who kept them out of the net. So, nice debuts.
Luke Konnesky tagged his first varsity goal—more to come.
We are now back Thursday for the Regional Finals at 6:00 at STA. We will be shooting for a state-best 28th regional title, and an 18th straight.
Bring on Sumner.
