Man, I always forget how cold it gets up on the North fields at Lake Country Soccer. It doesn’t help that it’s only the second time this season I had to put shoes on (you know I prefer being barefoot while shooting your sons and daughters) but I’m going to have to get my heavy coat out. The leather jacket wasn’t enough tonight.
Neither were seedings for that matter. Both top seeds were eliminated Thursday evening, meaning that the upstart Nixa Eagles will face defending champions Springfield Catholic in the Boys Middle School championship on Monday evening at Cooper. Pershing came in with 5 wins and a tie while Cherokee was 5-1, compared to 4-2 for Catholic and 2-3-1 for Nixa. Meant nothing tonight.
Nixa took down the Generals 3-1, going up by three before giving up a late goal.
Catholic defeated Cherokee 4-1, giving up a goal on a PK due to a hand ball in the box in the first half, only to turn around and see Nick Gorey tie the game less than two minutes later. The Irish opened it up in the second half for the win.

hey nixa was 4-3-1 going into last nites game and cherokee was 5-2-0. we beat cherokee last monday and pershing beat cherokee week before.
I see a lot of comments about sportsmanship and how the game should be played, well the championship game nixa and catholic played was a joy to watch. Both sides played extremely hard and definately left it all on the field. After the game was over I heard several of the players on both sides complimenting each other on well they played. I can honestly say Catholic didn’t lose that game, they just ran out of time and the way they conducted themselves after the game was huge compliment to the school, the coaches and the parents.
