Parking may be in short supply on Tuesday night.

SGFsoccer reports that Greenwood will play Missouri Military Academy at 5:00pm in the Class 1 quarterfinal on Cooper 1 just before the Falcons sectional showdown with Kickapoo at 7:00pm.

An estimated 800 people attended the first Glendale/Kickapoo match at Cooper and the parking lot was overflowing. With Greenwood, Kickapoo, and Glendale playing for high stakes on a very nice November night, expect the stadium and parking lot to be full. Let’s just make sure the Falcon Nation is there in force.
