A Great Men's Soccer Season

The final game is a tough one to lose regardless of the level. 23-1 is a great season if the 1 is not the last one.

The Southwest Laker Men's Soccer team finished 2nd in Minnesota after a loss to Apple Valley 0-3 in the state finals on Thursday.

Sports show no mercy - there are winners and there are losers. That is the nature of sports. But there doesn't have to be loser team members or players or kids or people. Our Men's Soccer team went further than any Minneapolis soccer team has gone before. They set a bar for others to challenge. They demonstrated excellence sportsmanship, outstanding academic accomplishments and entertaining games. It has been a great season and bunch of great guys!

The tournament has been a fun series and one that will be talked about for many years. No reunion of the class of 2011 will be complete without the trip to state memories followed by the stories of a great fall season for these seniors. They have every reason to be proud.
