 High School Soccer:Schalick Ends Regular Season at Eastern Thursday, October 27, 2005 By Clark Washington This was the last game of the regular season for Schalick, but it would have been nice to see this game played earlier in the season. In a non-league boy’s soccer game held at Eastern, the Vikings were hosting Schalick in a game that neither team needed to win in order to qualify for the upcoming tournament. Both of these teams have secured their position in the playoff and it would hard to say that each team didn’t give it their all to win this game. Nevertheless, when the Cougars scored the first goal of the game early in the second half, Schalick proved to be the better team on this day. The Vikings would watch Schalick post a 2-0 victory over them and both teams await the start at their run at the title next week. |
