 Game 21: (15-3-3) 7 November at Spring Hill vs. Maize  (8-1) When you get to play the twenty-first game, you know that means only one of two things—you are playing for it all in the State Championship or you are playing for 3rd. This group has brought the Saints back home to the State finals to take on a very good Maize team. We were playing for Boys' Soccer's 17th state title (quite a drought as the last one we won was In 2014), and we were playing for Saint Thomas Aquinas's 115th.  And oh my did we show up for this one. Mitchell called tails, and the boys took it from there. It was 2-0 after 3 minutes. We never looked back as it was 6-0 at halftime against a team that never gave up more than 3 all year during a full game. Now granted Maize had played 100 minutes the night before, and we had breezed through at 6-0, getting to sit some starters during a lot of the second half. I just think when a team is blessed with a senior class that every other kid wants to win for, ...

Game 20: (14-3-3) 6 November at Spring Hill vs. Shawnee Heights (6-0) The Moms were up early this morning getting the school entrance ready for all arrivals. Check it out! We came into the semis with virtually the same record as Shawnee Heights out of Topeka. We were hoping that our demanding schedule would create some separation.  The match was tight for a bit, but once we connected on Kitts to Farrar corner, everyone relaxed, and a minute later we scored again. We built a 4-0 lead by halftime, and by early second half, it was 6-0.  So, everyone got to play quite a bit and a lot of our never-come-out guys got 20-30 minutes rest. So hopefully that will pay some dividends for tomorrow.  One of the things that B came up with that really got our guys going tonight I think were all of the video posts from so many Aquinas legends. Lee, Henning, Bartlett, DiCarlo, Gress . . . and on and on (15 powerful messages) left these powerful remarks that I know inspired our guys so much....

Game 19: (13-3-3) 3 November at HOME vs. Mill Valley (1-0) We started our two-game replay tour tonight as we took on Mill Valley who we played early in the season (the night of the Chiefs Home Opener) in a good match that ended 2-0, us. Mill Valley has some nice wins this season like its win over # 2-in-the-State, Olathe West. But that tour took a detour when Bishop Carroll was upset tonight by Andover Central. It took forever to score, and we probably scored in the least likely way. The Mill Valley keeper played well all night except that one late second-half play on the corner kick. We were attacking all night earning corner after corner. All of our free kicks were pretty good chances. As I said, their keeper played very well.  Our backline was phenomenal again. There were very few even shots, let alone good chances. Nick Garcia came in early in the second half, allowing Mitchell to move upfield. I thought from that point on we spent almost all of the time on our side of the fiel...
