Huffman wins! 3-3 (5-3 SO)

3-3, going to a shootout. I’m glad I stopped. I got a whole game’s worth of highlights in 45 minutes of game time

Bob Hope scores with 4:46 left in OT2. 3-3 2 goals in 80 minutes of regulation, 4 goals in 15 minutes of OT

Whoa. The Bob Hope goalie just tried to roll a ball out to a defender who was right next to him. But the keeper was 10 yds off his line, and the guy he rolled it to had a HH player next to him, who intercepted and rolled it home to put Huffman up 3-2 with :34 left in the first OT. I’ve played soccer 30 years and can’t figure out a better way to explain that play. 3-2 HH going to the second OT

A minute later Huffman scores on a free kick from 50 out (yes, 50). Great ball sent in that a couple of guys missed but somehow found it’s way into the corner. There’s a strong wind blowing that way. 2-2 with 2 min left in the first OT.

Bob Hope scores 3 minutes into OT to go up 2-1

Bob Hope got an amazing look with about 5 seconds left but skied it over. 1-1 going to OT.

Got out of my meeting early and had to pass the stadium to go home. Stopped in to catch the last 30 minutes. It’s 1-1 with 20 minutes left. The crowd is awesome!

I was hoping this would be later. No way for me to make it in time.

Coach McDermand is a buddy of mine. He’s done an incredible job over at Huffman. He started a new program there last year, and they went 2-19-1. In his second year he’s got them at 19-5, and at least three rounds deep into the playoffs. I don’t know what criteria they use to decide these things, but I’d argue that he has a very strong case for state 4A coach of the year.

That’s crazy

Huffman won 4-0

They took their time starting the 2nd game, and now we’re in a lightning delay. Tied 12 minutes into the game, each team has had a good chance. I’m going home.

I’ll post updates, weather permitting. It could get pretty bad out before this one is over

Huffman scores on a free kick with 2 seconds left. Jasper wins 6-1

6-0 with 23 minutes left

Jasper up 3-0 at the half. They’ve hit the post a couple of times as well. They’re very impressive for a 4a girls side, especially considering the size of their town. Their turns and first touch are really good, and they’re basically just wall passing up the field around Huffman.

I’m here. Jasper up 2-0 over Huffman midway through the first half

I’m fairly certain it is Huffman vs Jasper tonight at the Butch

HH won 2-0
