2nd In State . 1st In 0ur Hearts The district championship game was on the line. DeSmet's eighth penalty kicker stepped forward about to shoot and Park- way Central's goalkeeper, Senior Shawn O'Fallon, poised himself in anticipation of the shot. Everyone watching knew that a missed shot would mean a win for the Colts. ln the next instant, the ball was launched and the outstretched arms of O'Fallon deflected it away from the goal. It was the moment that started Central's march to the state fin- als. At the start of the season, there were not many people who believed the team had the ability to advance through the state playoffs. The Colt's name was conspicuously absent from pre-season rankings, but the soccer team charged out of the gate and assembled eight straight victories before losing their first game. Included among these victories were wins over tenth ranked Lindbergh, thir- teenth ranked Mehlville, and fifth ranked Rosary. However, to Coach Jim Davis, the team's fifth victory of the year over DeSmet was perhaps the key to the season. Said Davis, The talent was there. Our biggest obstacle was making the kids believe in themselves. After beating DeSmet fthe first timel the team realized they were one of the top ranked teams in the area and could con- ' Sports HOME 740000 O U 'U O Z l'I'l 2 -I woe occ 0000 TIES 00000 VISITOR oco Nor THEY mo, ft' f I if iw: tend for state. Although the rest of the year did not pro. ceed as perfectly, the Colts still only lost four of their next 13 games. They headed into districts with a 15-5-2 record to show for the regular season. The team glided past Parkway North in the first round of districts 3-O before defeat. ing DeSmet in the exciting penalty shootout game. After eliminating DeSmet, the Colts romped through sectionals with a 6.0 trouncing of Francis Howell and then ad. vanced through the quarterfinal round with a 2-1 overtime win against Sedalia Smith-Cot. ton. Finally, the team qualified for the Mis- souri state soccer championship finals by beating Parkhill of Kansas City 2-O in the semifinals. On the clear Saturday morning of Novem- ber 22, the Colts faced the Parkway West Longhorns for the rights to the champion- ship. Despite losing the game 2-1, the team provided a valiant effort and took part in what was surely one of the most memorable games in the history of the finals. As Coach Davis said, Seeing the 5,000 in the stands . . . the support of the students, parents, coaches, and administration . . . It was something l'll never forget. The team ended the year at 20-6-2. They won the Suburban Southf West Tourna- ment, the Suburban South Conference, dis- tricts, and finished second in the state tour- nament. Besides the team accomplishments, the Colts also had many individual achieve- ments. Six players qualified for first team All-Conference including Seniors Todd Gal- bierz, Bill Carr, Trey Rolofson, Shawn O'Fal- lon, and Mike Rogers along with Junior John Lynn. Two players, Carr and Galbierz, made first team Eastern Missouri All-State. Carr also was recognized for second team All- Metro and O'Fallon received an All-Metro honorable mention.
