Congratulation to both teams for a great evening of soccer . Neither team was willing to budge a inch. Both teams looked as if this game was the state championship and both would have been deserving winners.
When the call was made ,I felt that it was a bad, bad time for a touch foul to make such a determination in a OT play-off game . Unfortunately I watched the tape of the play which did cause a sleepless night being the Dad of the only Eastside senior . The tape showed very clearly a cross to #14 and her tripping over her foot . The defender had nothing to do with her fall.Whistle blows ,14 up jumping and clapping . Beam nails the PK .
The second OT was a stall which I am told is good soccer but boring and frustrating. Long kicks out of bounds with no ball girls .And I am sure the CGSA Fusion girls remember the corner stall (especially Meachy)in the 02 Championship game in Greenville.
At the end both teams were competely wiped out. It will be hard to see anyone beating the Riverside girls .
Eastside does return all players except 3 year starter Kacy Culbertson and does have a nice upcoming freshman class.
