ORIGINAL STORY

The Mount Si Boys soccer program made history Friday night – twofold history. Never before had the program made it to a state semi final game and by 8PM Friday night, history was made again as the team earned a shot at the state title.

All the scoring in the tight match came in the first half. Ferris High School got on the board first after a corner kick led to a goal in the 24th minute. It only took Mount Si a couple of minutes to even the game, though, when Drew Harris converted a header for a goal. Then in the 37th minute, Reed Paradissis also used his head to covert a corner kick from Harris for the go-ahead goal.

Mount Si now faces a tough Puyallup High School team that defeated Jackson 4-0 in the other state semi game Friday night. Puyallup has been rolling in the playoffs – in three games scoring 12 goals and only giving up one.

The 4A State Championship games kicks of at 5PM, May 25th at Sparks Stadium in downtown Puyallup.
