WHAT a great game Thursday night between Germantown and Ridgeway. Both teams came in pumped up and the game ended up lasting over 2 hours.
In the first ten minutes, Germantown scored on a Ridgeway defensive break down. The score was 1-0 at the end of the half. In the second half ridgeway scored two great goals to put them up by one. At the end of the half Germantown answered back with a goal off a corner kick. The game was tied at the end of regulation 2-2. Moving into two ten minute periods(not golden goal), Germantown scored quickly putting them up by one. In the second period Ridgeway answered back with yet another goal. Tied 3-3 at the end of the second 10 minute period. After no goals in the next two five minute golden goal periods it came down to a shootout. In their first shots on goal Ridgeway and Germantown both missed. Both teams made their next two goals. On the forth shot Ridgeway missed and Germantown scored. Germantown then made their 5th goal, ending the long game. Sometimes it is a shame that games are determined by the shootout, but thats how it goes. The game was played in 95 degree heat. Both teams played great. Good luck to Germantown as you take on Houston/Collierville. Better luck to Ridgeway next season
