 It all came down to one game as the unseeded underdog Bemidji Boy's soccer team defeated the third seed, then defeated the second and faced off against the top-seeded Blake School for a chance at glory and the first state title in school history. An impressive group of fans making the long trip down to Minneapolis, scoreless in the first. Bemidji Goli, JD Bitter was tested all game long. He made nine saves altogether. Here he stops the header to keep the game tied. Over halfway through the second, still scoreless. Bitter comes out for the save. He is able to come away with the save but he's knocked to the ground. He had to leave the game with concussion. Enter Joe Fletcher. It's his first year playing soccer and in overtime he comes up with a diving save to keep the Jacks alive later in the first overtime. Bemidji with a great chance, a free kick from Ethan Mock headed away by the Bears and this one's going to double OT. But on the opening kickoff, 55 yards out. Keegan James, the shot of a lifetime. Blake School is your boy's Class A chance as they win in dramatic, heartbreaking fashion, but such a tremendous showing by the Lumberjacks all year long and especially their backup keeper, Joe Fletcher, today. Joe is probably the best team player, best teammate I've ever had. He's the one giving us pep talks before every game. He's just pumped on the bench. Barely, barely played a minute all year. First year out. So, can't stand up. There's not a player on that team that we could exploit and we looked and we've been working together as a coaching staff for a long time and we try to quickly identify where our weaknesses are, their weaknesses are and our strengths and their strengths and try to try to create these matches and matchups that will work for us and we couldn't find one today.
