Catholic faced the older and more experienced John Burroughs team in the semi-final game played today in Fenton at 1:00 pm. The sun was shinning, wind was blowing cold when the teams entered the field. Catholic was forced to play a lot of defense in the first half but was able to end the half with a 0-0 score.
Catholic was able to score first at 47 min, when David Bailey had the ball in the top of the box, passed the ball to Justin Bowenschulte who was able to place the ball in the right corner past the JB GK. Catholic came out energized and began controlling the game until about the 52 minute when there was a change in the momentum of the game. Consequently, JB’s Ettinger was able to score on a pass from Martin at 58 minutes. Unfortunately JB’s Martin was able to score on a corner kick at 69 minutes giving JB the go ahead and winning goal.

Enjoy the Catholic team and fans game winning celebration
Although Catholic won the first meeting against Greenwood earlier this season with a 1-0 score, after watching a very energized Greenwood beat NCA on Monday, Catholic knew they had to play hard to have a repeat win.
Catholic got the board at 5 mintutes when Justin Bowenschulte was fouled at the top of the box. On the foul shot, Bowenschulte was able to fired the ball past the Greenwood defenders and goalie scoring what turned out to be the game winning shot (Goal 1)
Giving Catholic that security goal, at 58 minutes, Luke Straus was able to play a ball back in on the Greenwood GK putting Catholic ahead 2-0 (Goal 2). Catholic then began to use the clock wisely by using the entire field. Greenwood’s drives toward the goal were either stopped by Catholic defense or the Catholic GK, providing Catholic another shutout.
See www.sgfsoccer.com for further comments and links to video clips by local media.
Catholic will now play the District 5 winner on Thursday, November 13, in Lebanon, MO at 6:00 p.m.
