On Wednesday evening in Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, the magic ran out. Giving up a goal 1 minute and 10 seconds into the game, Lyman was behind the eight ball the entire evening.
They managed to tie the game 1-1 with about 14 minutes left in the first half, but Wellington High School proved to be too much. The next two goals were scored by Wellington, and then Lyman's fierce determination kicked in, and they scored with 11:33 remaining to make the game 3-2. Unfortunately, that was the final score.
It was an unprecedented run for a school and a team on no one's radar even as the season unfolded and opponents started to understand how good they really were. Everyone kept waiting for them to fall, but it didn't happen until the very end. Pain will be replaced in a few weeks by a tremendous sense of accomplishment, and the boys and their parents now have a memory for the ages.
Way to go "Greyhounds"....you made us all extremely proud.
