As with almost all pictures on the blog, click for a full screen view.

The boys' soccer team made Nathan Meisner's first half goal off of Cory Macke's cross hold up and defeated Tippecanoe 1-0 to win the District Championship Saturday night.

Our goal:

Cory brings the ball up the right side.

Cory beats his guy so badly that he's barely still in the frame.

Cory crosses the ball.

Bodies are scattered, Todd seems happy, the Tippecanoe kid on the right is making the universal, "Oh crap, we got scored on" signal.

David and Nathan seem even happier than Todd.

I couldn't keep up with the play but I'm told that the Tippecanoe keeper got a hand on Cory's cross but couldn't control it.  Nathan was able to get to the loose ball first and put it home.

Harrison Glover had eight saves en route to the shutout.

Next up: vs. Dayton Carroll on Tuesday at 7 PM at Centerville.  Centerville High School is located at 500 E. Franklin Street, Centerville, Ohio 45459.  According to AD Scott Kaufman, this is the first time the boys' team has advanced to regionals.

Carroll defeated McNick 5-0 to advance to Tuesday's game.

Coach Thomas got a Gatorade shower just before this was taken.
