I now have a pretty good idea what it's like for those basketball teams waiting for their bids to the NCAA tournament. The Middle Park HS boys soccer team (which I am an assistant coach for) finished its regular season last week and finished second in their region, thus securing a spot in the state playoffs for the first time in several years. The seeding committee met this morning and finally around 12:30 the bracket was posted. We were seeded 25th in the 32 team field--a little lower than we had hoped, but are looking forward to the opportunity to extend our season. We will be traveling to Hotchkiss on Tuesday to take on a team that went undefeated with record of 11 wins and 4 draws. With just one practice to prepare, we will have to be on our game. Although we like our chances going up against a team that we have no history with, so we have no preconceived idea of what we need to do. We just have to play our best soccer and see how things play out.
