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!

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

[bullets13]

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

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.

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

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

[bullets13]

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 

[bullets13]

Huffman wins!  3-3 (5-3 SO)

[Coach Frey]

Heartbreaking game but my hats off to Hargrave. Excellent team with a very classy coach. I hope they represent SETX well at the regional tournament next week!!
