Regional Finals at Bettis Family Stadium

Game 18: (13-4-1)
28 October vs. #2 Seed Shawnee Heights at Bettis Family Stadium (5-0)

We head to Topeka to play in the cold and rain tonight, but this should be quite an opportunity. We are going for our 30th regional title, and we are going for our 20th straight.


We will begin a little bit differently up top with Taborda at the 9, moving Ethan wide, but the rest of the starting line-up will be what we have gone with for some time.


We put forth another very good performance, limiting Heights almost to nothing around goal. 

Muckerman continued to visit Muckerville—that’s 9 deadball goals on the season for him. 

And Luke found the net tonight. He finished a ball coming off a Ryan t-ball, and he just struck one from 30 that was beautiful. 

Garrett Hall had his second goal of the season tonight off a header from Mark Mason off, yet another, set-piece goal for us. 

Our midfield played well all night, defending and transitioning forward. And it was good to see some of our newer varsity kids get time and play well. Max Doerfler had his first varsity minutes tonight. And LeBourveau is getting more and more comfortable—hit the post on one tonight, and was close on another one.

We caught a huge break in the Region 1 final as DeSoto upset undefeated Mill Valley, 1-0. 

So we will host State Quarterfinals Tuesday! Bring on DeSoto!
