The next day the school played for the state title in boys' soccer. It was 1-1 after regulation, and two overtime periods failed to change the score, so they and their opponents were declared state co-champions. Neither team was thrilled about the tie. One team got the trophy and the other received the gold medals.
That sucks. Why couldn't they do some sort of special event to determine a winner?
They used to have a shootout to determine the state champions after 2 OTs didn't result in a winner. Apparently they did away with the shutout several years ago after a girls' state championship came after a shootout. The goalkeeper, who allowed the winning goal in the shootout, committed suicide soon after the match (I haven't exactly been a ray of sunshine in this thread lately).
