Kudos to Parkway
I don't think I've ever been at a more emotionally draining game than the high school soccer game I was at last night. The Parkway boys team was on the verge of advancing to the state quarterfinals when it all vanished in minutes.
The Panthers got the go-ahead goal late in the game with about eight minutes remaining only to have a defensive error cost them dearly. Alexandria scored in the final minute of regulation, then scored in the final minute of the overtime! That's like hitting two buzzer-beaters from mid-court in the same game.
Your heart has got to go out to head coach Chuck McBee and his kids. They had fought through a shaky first half, turned their game around in the second half, scored what should have been the game-winning goal and then crumbled in a span of about 20 minutes.
The Panthers deserved a better ending than what they got.
