Quarter finals had 0's on the board the first half.
Second half Olathe South shoots from midfield to score.
With a minute to go Gage Palmer heads in a goal but is waved off by officials who say the goalie had possession of the ball before it was headed in.
That was the final as South moves on to the semi-finals.

We as in Wasburn Rural want everyone to shut the hell up about this. It may have been a controversial call and I've seen footage from the press box view which show's the real truth and it's a bad call. The keeper basically just touches the ball and then Palmers' head meets the ball, and he didn't really even touch the goalie. However, we don't care anymore. We never should have been in the position to where a call decided the game. So, hats off to Olathe South. I hope to see you next year.

Beautiful Game - Hey Alex Smith, that is the beautiful thing about soccer fields or pitches, there is no standard size and they all are unique as are the environment of the game. One of the great comments that I heard from both Olathe team's parents this past weekend was about Hummer; e.g., "Wow, this is nice, didn't know this was here!" and, "Who plays here?" It struck me with a focus that I did not think of before, many of the KC teams, and especially the Olathe schools in soccer, are in-bred with the schools that they traditionally play - even in "non-conference" games. The Topeka/Manhattan/Emporia teams regularly play home/away series with Shawnee Mission schools and Blue Valley schools but I never see Olathe venture outside their cozy little kingdom where all is square and right with the world...

Who stepped off those measurements? They need a sobriety check. I doubt a school district would spend that much money and have markings that were four yards incorrect. I've been out there a bunch of times and seen lots of games and no one has ever mentioned that before. Crazy talk.
