Congratulations goes out to our CCMS boys soccer team, who competed in the WECDSB playoff tournament on Friday in Belle River.
--
The boys first opponent was a familiar one, in St. John Vianney...who they beat handily during the season. The postseason takes on a different feel, however, and they couldn't be taken lightly.
The game was tight defensively, but eventually our Cards would take the lead on a goal by Anthony E., just before halftime. In the second half, the Cards would add 2 more from Liam B. and Tyler B. and coast to a 3-1 victory.
Next up for our boys was a semi-final tilt versus Notre Dame. The second game of the day was much more intense, and the Cards knew they had a fight on their hands. Playing with the wind advantage in the 1st half, play went back and forth, but the Wildcats would strike 1st and the Cards would have to play catch up. Our boys would get goals from Zach B. but go into halftime down 3-2. In the second half, CCMS battled the wind as well as a relentless Wildcat attack, and couldn't find any momentum. They would give up another 2 goals in defeat.
Special mention goes out to Jacob B, Aidan C. and Lucas R. who worked incredibly hard on defense all day long.
Great job boys. Corpus is proud of your efforts. Please turn in clean uniforms to Mr. Kennette or Mr. Ballard as soon as you can.
