Overlakes strong postseason run comes to end in state quarterfinals
May 21 2008
The Overlake Schools miraculous boys soccer season came to an end in the Class 1A state quarterfinals in a 2-1 loss to Kings High at Woosely Stadium on Friday.
Overlake ended its season at 11-7-3, which was unexpected given the team won just three games last year and started the year 1-4-1 this year. In addition, the team started a half dozen sophomores at any given time this year. But Overlake somehow turned that into a state-caliber team that shocked the Emerald City League by getting a berth to the state tournament.
The Emerald City League soccer season is in the fall, but the state season is in the spring. The layoff didnt hinder the Owls in the state opener, however, in beating Vashon 1-0. Kings had won its opening state game 10-0.
