In a battle of State Ranked Teams (Glendale Class 3 #15 – West Plains Class 2 #10) 100 minutes couldn’t decide a winner. Glendale came out flying in the first half putting a lot of pressure on the Zizzers, but weren’t able to put anything in the goal. In the last 15 minutes of the half, the Zizzers seemed to settle down a bit and were able to create some chances in front of the goal, but couldn’t finish them. The game reached halftime 0-0.
The Zizzers took the kickoff and the second pass was too far for the on rushing Justin Scicluna, but it got past the Falcons sweeper. Scicluna raced in and was one on one with the keeper. Scicluna touched the ball past the Falcons Stephen Conner for a 1-0 Zizzer lead 10 seconds into the half. The score would stay that way until the 68th minute. The Falcons got the equalizer on a corner kick. The ball went into the middle and then bounced free to Andy sawyer who buried the ball in the back of the net. 1-1.
The End of Regulation Time saw the score still 1-1. Twenty more minutes of overtime ended without another goal. With the tie Glendale’s record moves to 6-0-3 and 3-0-1 in the Ozark Conference. West Plains’ record is now 11-1-2 and 3-1-1 in the Ozark Conference.
In JV action, West Plains held the Falcons scoreless until the 31st minute. An own goal gave Glendale a 1-0 lead. Glendale would strike again before half for a 2-0 lead.

I so wanted to see this game but had other obligations. This may well be the greastest team in Zizzer Soccer history and I’m yet to see them in action. I’ll definitiely not miss the next home game.
We had a nice crowd. One of the better ones we’ve had lately. From what I have heard, they enjoyed the game. Hopefully they will keep coming out and bring some others with them. We will look for you next Thursday. Varsity only at 5:00pm vs Hillcrest
Is Logan jumping that high or am I pushing him higher because I remember I like launched him on that corner kick.
