The Cards opened up their postseason play yesterday with a win, something that they have not done since 2006. The first half of play was one of the best we've played all season as we put up 3 goals on our rivals, the Carl Junction Bulldogs. The first goal was put in when Austin Sanders sent a long shot just wide and Jeremy Heuertz one touched it into the goal just before it went out of bounds. The next would come from a break away by Alex Christian, and the final goal of the half came when Austin Sanders took a free kick from midfield and it rolled through a crowd of defenders and found the corner of the net.
The second half saw a frustrated and determined Carl Junction squad fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Cards held off a flurry of shots allowing just one goal off a header from CJ senior Brandon Kennedy. Thomas Foster had 14 saves and the defense did an excellent job of holding off the attacks.
We play next on Monday afternoon at 4:30 against the top-seeded Bolivar Liberators, who squeaked past #8 West Plains Saturday afternoon in PKs.
Great Job Cards! We are not finished yet!
