First score of the morning, Norman North puts one in on Irmo early, 7th minute. Norman North 1-0 Irmo

And now here at The Cage, the Bearcats net one themselves here in the 16th minute to take the lead over the Cardinals. BC 1-0 CN

looks like both teams from the late game are still a little tired....

Can't speak for Irmo, but Cardinal Newman def looks a little heavy legged.

This is where it gets strange in tournament play, fatigue can allow a team that is not the best to pull out a win. Look at CN...they had to play Wando and Irmo back to back, and Irmo had a though game with CC (1 fewer game played than them) and now NN with 1 fewer game played by NN. And I guarantee that CN took it out of them last night. I would think on a normal day that CN would beat BC by 2 or 3 goals...just my opinion though....

Wow, here in the 34th minute a great pass on the floor past the keeper in the box to a wide open Cardinal, gets them nothing as the CN player chokes on the open net and plays the ball wide. Opportunity lost.

I said its last night, both those teams left it on the field. In tourney play, strange things can happen, this is where you find out what your made of, dig down deep and find the will or make excuses and go home. Tough draw for both teams, these matches are far from over.

No recent updates from Granby, but here at the cage BC will take the lead into the half. BC 1-0 CN

Just got word from Granby, NN also will take the lead into the half, NN 1-0 Irmo
