WILDCATS ARE DISTRICT CHAMPS!

Wildcats win Class 2 District 5 Championship Tournament knocking off defending Champs Bolivar 2-1. Goals were provided by AJ Erickson and Anna Holden. AJ scored off a set piece she bent over the wall, stretching the onion sack in the top right corner. Anna Holden scored on one of her many forays behind the Liberator defensive line. The stingy Wildcat defense held Bolivar to 1 goal which was an amazing goal from the Welch girl. She had a defender marking her with good pressure but still got off a wonderful shot on the run that slipped past the outreached fingers of our keeper. Sara Clarke made up for this goal in a big way when it counted most. With two minutes left to play, Sara shut down two goal line scrums and came away with the ball safely cradled in her arms. What a great game from two fantastic teams.

The Cats will face Notre Dame de Sion Wednesday for the state quarterfinals in Harrisonville at 6:00 PM. Click here for the full state championship bracket.
