Lincoln soccer fans have one team left in the NSAA State Soccer Tournament. The boys from Pius X will play in the Class B final at 6:00pm tomorrow. The Pius X girls and Lincoln Southeast girls were both bumped in the semis.
The Pius X boys are considered by some to be the best boys team in the state this year, though any comparison across classes is difficult. Even if they are, that doesn't mean they're a shoo-in to win tomorrow. This season has been chock full of upsets and surprising outcomes, and the State Tournament has been no different. Ask the Omaha South or Millard West boys, for example.
The two girls finals are tonight at 6:00pm and 8:00pm at Morrison Stadium on the Creighton campus. The boys finals are tomorrow night. Morrison Stadium is a beautiful complex and the weather should be excellent for both participants and spectators. If you're a soccer fan, I encourage you to make the short drive up to Omaha to watch what should turn out to be four good, competitive matches.

any finals Mr. Wilson?
I wish Pius played the schedule it used to play, so that it would be easier to argue whether they are the best team in the state independent of class. But either way, it seems they’re doing OK. I agree, Morrison is a great facility.
Pius played 5 Class A teams and beat them all, including state tournament team Millard North. More notable, though, is the fact that Pius’ opponent, Omaha Skutt, beat Creighton Prep, which is in the Class A final, 4-1 earlier this season.
