Worland proved to be the Powell High School boys’ soccer team’s Achilles heel in the 2021 season.
The Panthers fell 1-0 in the 3A state championship Saturday afternoon, dropping their third match of the season to the No. 1-seeded Warriors. All three of Powell’s losses this season came to WHS.
Both teams’ defensive prowess was on full display for the match’s entirety, with time of possession split down the middle. The game’s only goal came in the 20th minute, when the Warriors converted on a penalty kick.
After lightning stalled the game for almost an hour in the early second half, the Panthers returned sharp. They saw several opportunities on goal and even were awarded a free kick from just a few yards out after the Warriors were called for obstruction.
Unfortunately for PHS, the team couldn’t capitalize on these chances, thanks in part to a strong performance from Worland’s back line.
The Panthers finished the year 14-3 overall and second place in Class 3A.
