Knox Catholic heading to the Tennessee State Playoffs

Knox Catholic heading to the Tennessee State High School playoffs, tomorrow.  Games Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday (if they keep winning).  The full schedule is here.

CAK seems to be the biggest competition, out of the lower bracket.

West 3-Knox Catholic 2

A good game between two Knoxville powerhouse teams.  Catholic scored early, but could not hold off West, with one PK in the first half and two close-in goals in the second half.

Catholic goals by Spencer Payne in the first half and Michael Bonfini in the second half.

Knox Catholic 12 – Stone Memorial 0

The score does not reflect some skill work by the Stone Memorial boys team, but they simply could not put the ball into the net.  A couple of close chances in the second half, but alas, the game was far gone by then.

Knox Catholic 3 – CAK 2, April 18th

Great game with both teams playing well.  A lot of momentum shifts.  Catholic dominated most of the first half, but could not put one in.  0-0 at the half.  Brandon Tar scored with a well hit one-touch.  Joey Delerosa seemed to be screened and reacted well, but could not stop the shot.  Catholic answered for 1-1.  Jake Ragland took a 30 yard free kick and placed it well in the lower right corner with a lot of english.  The game looked grim for Catholic.  With three minutes left, there were two quick scored from Richardo Martinez which sealed the game for Catholic.
