La Mirada Looks for 1st Title
We're about two hours away from the start of the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 boys soccer finals between No. 5 La Mirada (23-0-4) and No. 1-seeded Corona Del Mar (23-1-1) at 7 p.m. at Mission Viejo High School.
I'll post score-by-score updates and halftime and final scores here.
There are a couple of different advances online for those who are interested.
Here's the WDN's preview -
Here's the OC Register's preview -
How about the closing couple of lines of the OC's preview.
"Has La Mirada really been tested in the playoffs? I don't think so."
Wow! Obviously, The Register hasn't seen La Mirada play.
First Update: It's tied 0-0 after 20 minutes. La Mirada had a golden look in the 16th minute when senior halfback Daniel Ruvalcaba fired high from 10 yards.
CDM had its best opportunity snuffed out on a diving save by goalie Josue Quintanilla of a point-blank shot from Paul Zubatov in the 19th minute.
Second Update: It's tied 0-0 at the half. While La Mirada has performed well on the ground, CDM's air attack has been very dangerous. The Sea Kings have outshot the Matadores 10-5.
Third Update: The final score is 2-0 in favor of Corona Del Mar. The Sea Kings scored in the 67th minute on a scramble in front of the net that was knocked in by Ali Sadri.
UCLA-bound Reed Williams scored a 15-yarder in the 78th minute to seal the match.
Despite the score, congratulations to the La Mirada High School boys soccer team on a tremendous season, one of the best this reporter has witnessed.
Editor's Note: There will be a full story in Saturday's paper.
