0-0 at the half.
Pretty even both ways, very few scoring chances for either team.

WC wins 2-1 in overtime.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Worthington Christian junior Trent Smith scored in the eighth minute of overtime to give the third-ranked Warriors a 2-1 win over fourth-ranked Cuyahoga Falls Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy Friday in the OHSAA Division III boys soccer state championship game in Crew Stadium.
Smith’s game-winning strike came from about 25 yards out that deflected off both the goalkeeper and the near post into the back of the net, stunning the Royals and giving Worthington Christian its second state title.
The Warriors out-shot CVCA 21-9 overall and had 10 shots on goal, compared to just two for the Royals.
Worthington Christian took a 1-0 lead in the 53rd minute when freshman Albert Miller’s cross into the penalty area was first misplayed by a CVCA defender, then mishandled by the goalkeeper, resulting in an own goal. The Royals came back to tie the match in the 68th minute when junior Jack Thompson scored from close range off an assist from sophomore Sachem Wilson.
The match pitted two returning state runners-up from 2008. The Warriors, who won their first state title in 2006, were upset by Toledo Ottawa Hills last season, while CVCA dropped the 2008 Division II state championship game in a shootout.

Yes. But he's only a freshman. If it wasn't for him the Royals wouldn't have made it this far. One of the most important assets for a keeper is a short memory. Hopefully he has that because his future is very bright.ricola wrote: Heard the CVCA keeper had a tough game. poor guy.

I am tempted to call the 2nd goal an own goal as well. The shot was NOT going into the goal into the keeper re-directed it there.COLUMBUS, Ohio – Worthington Christian junior Trent Smith scored in the eighth minute of overtime to give the third-ranked Warriors a 2-1 win over fourth-ranked Cuyahoga Falls Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy Friday in the OHSAA Division III boys soccer state championship game in Crew Stadium.
