Soccer’s postseason
Oct. 22, 2007 @ 10:11 a.m. by JoannaDid this fall sports season fly by or is it just me? But here it is time for boys soccer to begin its postseason. Check out this for the regional pairings for games that begin tonight.
We haven’t had many discussions on soccer on this blog, so let’s start one here. My guess is we’ll see Heights, Southeast and Derby all advancing to Thursday’s regional finals. But who will they meet. Will Southeast see Maize or Northwest? How about Derby, will the Panthers play North or East (I’m picking East). And then there’s Heights, which will play either Dodge City or Garden City. You have a pick, let me know.
In Class 5A, I’m counting on McPherson (16-0) to come out of Region I, and how could anyone discount Liberal in Region II? I should hear from some Liberal fans soon — they’ve been pimping their soccer team all season long. In Region III, Kapaun looks to be the favorite, but let me know if you think Great Bend or Winfield could upset them.
In Class 4A, I would say it’s a toss-up for Andover playing either Independent or Rose Hill. At the same time, Rose Hill has such a strong tradition, that could easily come into play. I’m picking Andover Central to play at W. Trinity, but who wins that game? That’s a tough one.
Let the soccer convo start.

I’m a East High grad class of `80, I was one of the founding members of East high soccer. Now I live in Derby where both my son’s played soccer. Derby has choked against Northwest, Heights & East on their home field in the past, as much as I would like to see Derby win their Regionals, the odds are against them.
I host the Derby soccer website at http://www.toddman.org.
PS. My son’s (2) have both graduated, I just do this for fun.
