Two very solid teams but I have a feeling the Raptors will capture Academic Magnet's first ever state championship in any sport. On the pitch or on the hardcourt, Hagerty is one of my favorite high school athletes.

Here are your halftime statistics from Stone Stadium, with the score still 0:0 ...
Academic Magnet 0:0 Christ Church
Shots: AM 2, CCES 2; Saves: AM (Alex Rieflin) 1, CCES (Christopher Woody) 1; Corners: AM 1, CCES 4; Offsides: AM 0, CCES 2; Fouls: AM 3, CCES 7;
Play has evened up, and CCES had an excellent opportunity and perceived goal called back on an offsides call (which appeared to be close, but correct). Nice match after 40 minutes played.

One hour played, and play has picked up. Both teams efforts are improving, as is the pace. Neither team holds the advantage at this time.

We are on 70 minutes now. The best opportunities of the day come within a minute of each other, each for Academic Magnet. Alex Herlocker was just inside the penalty spot and put it on the frame. But Christopher Woody made a great play and punched it away. The ball ended up about 25 yards out and after some brief play, Allan Dapore struck from 30 yards just wide of the post to the left. On the counter, Christ Church's Michael Brearley struck well from 30 yards, and Alex Rieflen made a diving save to avert disaster. The subsequent corner was uneventful. An action packed final half...

Free Football, ladies and gentlemen! The Raptors had a free kick awarded and subsequent corner kick in the last 20 seconds, but were unable to convert as the ball was cleared by the Cavalier's defense. Two 10 minute overtimes to follow!
