In what ended up being probably the best game I've seen all year. Dreher Swept the toughest 3a region with a back and forth win over BC 3-2 in pks (5-4).
The scoring opened up in the first half as Dreher (not sure who) had a shot go over the keeper, who then grabbed it facing his goal, and was just barely over the goal line (good job by the official being right there on the line to make the call). BC's answer didn't come until around the 60th minute, when Caio Gaspar put his corner hard and on the ground to the top of the box. Les Sonefeld then hit his second seeing eye/emaculate strike of the year against Dreher. Rushe didn't have much of a chance with a shot like that. The scoreline didn't change, and overtime began with both teams fired up. BC then takes the lead with just a minute to go in the first overtime when Caio got his second assist, this time to Lee Smith, who placed a shot from outside the box back post; again, no blaming Rushe on a goal like that. Dreher was not to be outdone, as they took a free kick from the corner and Drew Leatherman hit it across the face of the goal and in, not much the keeper could have done their either, 3 excellent goals, and one controversial one leads this game to kicks from the mark. BC makes their first 4, and Dreher misses their second. Rushe had a quality save on the 5th kick, and Dreher made the 6th, while BC missed theirs. Hats off to Dreher on a great season, and good luck to BC in their region tie breaker for 2nd place vs. Chapin Thursday.
As for the injury, the situation was very unfortunate. BC's Carlos Farias-Perez and Dreher's Edward Wilson butted heads going after a header and were both taken to the hospital. I hope that nothing serious comes from this, but word is that both may have suffered concussions.
