2009 District-12 Division 4-A Ladies Soccer Championship Semi-Finals

Wednesday was cold and beautiful. Wednesday night was just plain cold. But in Immokalee the action was hot on the soccer field. It was the semi-final matches of the District Championship for the ladies, and all four teams came ready to play. In the first match Golden Gate's Lady Titans were up against the Lady Bears of Palmetto Ridge. Palmetto was strong and consistent throughout, securing a berth in the Finals with a 4 to 0 win.

By the time the second match began, temperatures had fallen to the mid 40's and kept falling throughout. The game could not have been closer, with Naples and Lely finishing regulation and overtime with a 2 - 2. The match was decided by a series of best of 5 "penalty kicks", pitting each teams Goal Keeper alone against a single shooter. Naples secured the victory.

High School Soccer: Palmetto Ridge High hosts Gulf Coast High

Tuesday night I watched one of the early games of the Soccer season at Palmetto Ridge Stadium. As small crowd was on hand to watch the Boys JV and Varsity matches.

I arrived late, and caught the second half of the JV game, which then ended quite prematurely after a foot or leg injury to a Sharks player. The game was on hold until the EMS was able to attend to him, and transport him to the hospital. By then, time had expired, and the Sharks were awarded the win 5 -0.

The Varsity game was strongly contended. The Bears managed to hold off the Sharks 3 -1. You can see pictures from this game by clicking here.
