Springfield, Missouri's Glendale Falcons

If you are only going to win one game in a three game series, you should win the one that counts and that is exactly what happened tonight. Coach Rogers has engineered his second major postseason surprise of 2006.

After losing to archrival Kickapoo (23-3) twice this season (0-1 and 1-2), the Falcons (13-6-3) turned in a dominating performance and defeated the Kickapoo Chiefs, 3-0.

This is the second consecutive year that the Falcons have defeated the Chiefs in the sectionals. The Falcons have defeated the Chiefs the last four times the two teams have met in postseason play. The Falcons have an 18-8 record against the Kickapoo varsity since 1998.

Match Stats: Sam Palmer (1G), Jeff Lyons (1G), Danny Collins (1G), Devon Newport (1A), Michael Page (1A), Shaun Morris (1A).

The Falcons will play the Vianney Golden Griffins on Saturday, November 11 at 1:00pm in Camdenton. Tonight, Vianney defeated our friends from Jefferson City Helias, 1-0 in the second overtime.
