Willow notched a goal right before half. Bossier looked the better team in that first half. Willow struggling to get possession. Defense is holding the Bearkats up though.

Hands nearly fell off with camera work. Bossier brought the fight to Willow. Lions defense just denied any chance of a goal. Bossier GK had a heck of a game. Lions going back to the finals

Congrats to Willow on making another final and getting the opportunity to defend it. This is Willows 4th finals appearance in program history, and 3rd in 4 years.

I wasn’t at the game. But looking at the goal, at 1/4 speed a willlow player ran into the bossier keeper while he was in the air going after the ball. That’s a foul on any field. The ball was deflected to a willow player who scored. Someone more tech savvy than me needs to post that clip so others can weigh in. It was in the last 3 minutes of the half. Free kick from the 50 yard line.
I’m not saying the result would have been different or anything of that sort, just that, the goal should have been waved off for foul on the keeper in the air, forward not even trying to go after the ball

Now I will admit I’m a dad of a keeper so protecting the keeper is my default setting, so let’s hear from others on their op ions on the guy contacting the keeper in the air as the keeper was going for the ball.

Yea can def see where ur coming from. I think its a foul, not taking anything away from Willow, but they basically full sprint into the keep as he is hitting the ball. The ref had a pretty good look at it too.

His comment was that the player was playing the ball, which he clearly wasn’t, and just like any late challenge, you don’t get ball you get called for the foul. Not an overly debatable issue imo

Boggles the mind. Again not saying the result would be te same or different, but the reality is this is the highest level of competition and things like this should not be impacting games. Only the best refs should be in these games. Also where was the AR, he should have had a straight line to see this. Both schools played their hearts out, a true battle of D3 titans, worthy of a finals matchup.

Agreed, however, with the way selections are made at this stage there will always be dilution when coaches don’t consider all NINE associations in the state.
