Boys Varsity SoccerThe Varsity Eagles bowed out of the state tournament in the state semifinal with a shootout loss to FHN. The Eagles would score first in regulation when Liam Jansen's effort from distance curled perfectly into the bottom left corner. The Eagles would manage the game well from that point, but would unfortunately concede the equalizer off a long throw and goalmouth scramble with just six minutes to go. Neither team could find the winner throughout regulation and OT periods and the game would head to spot kicks to decide the winner. The shootout would go an epic 9 rounds before FHN claimed the decisive kick after an Eagle miss. The Eagles will graduate 8 seniors who leave a tremendous legacy of success and leadership- Peter Borst, Will Bufalini, John Cassiday, Abel denDulk, Boris Lalic, Max Michael, Soren White, and Isaac Williams.

Not much talk would have been about the Eagles who, despite playing beautiful football at times throughout the season, hadn’t put all three of offense, defense, and special teams together in several games. From their studio, the analysts wouldn’t have been able to hear the pads popping and Eagle Drumline surging during pregame warmup or the love from the team and fans as the senior players and cheerleaders and their families were celebrated before the game. Watching on their screens, the reporters wouldn’t have heard the raucus cowbells and cheering from parents or felt the electricity in the blacked-out student section as the game began.

Boys Varsity SoccerThe Eagle soccer team traveled back to St. Joseph High School for the Regional Final against 4th ranked Allendale on Saturday. On another windy day near the lakeshore, the Eagles capitalized on an early chance just 12 minutes into the match when Peter Borst found himself in behind the Falcon defense from a pinpoint cross towards the far post from fellow senior John Cassiday. Borst would show great composure as he took down the cross with a perfect first touch and forced the keeper to leave his line. Borst's finishing touch was just as brilliant, as he calmly slotted the ball past the keeper and into the net to give the Eagles an important early lead. The rest of the first half would be an up-and-down affair, with each team creating some half-chances. The Eagles would attack into the wind in the second half and knew that chances would be hard to come by against a stellar defensive squad in Allendale. The Eagles' defense would certainly be tested as Al

After a challenging first 20 minutes, the Eagles began to settle in and compete for every 50-50 ball. Despite a couple quality chances, however, the match would remain 0-0 at the half.After settling down during the half-time talk, the Eagles responded brilliantly by coming out of the break with focus, purpose, and a desire to extend their season.

Just three weeks ago, the Eagles suffered a 5-0 defeat to the Sailors at Eagle Stadium, so there was no lack of motivation in a match that would decide who moves on in the MHSAA tournament and whose season comes to an end. The home side was determined to come out on the front foot and to both limit and defend South's dangerous long throws better than the last outing. The Eagles came out strong and got off to a dream start when Peter Borst served in a perfect corner kick to Emmett Vance, who calmly headed it past the keeper to give the hosts an early 1-0 lead just a few minutes into the match.
