Lassen High Soccer Teams to Host Playoff Openers, Tuesday, Feb. 24th.
The Lassen High Grizzly and Lady Grizzly soccer teams will host CIF semi-final playoff games, Tuesday, Feb. 24th at Riverside Park in Susanville, Ca.
The playoff doubleheader will begin with the Lassen ladies facing familiar foe, West Valley High School. This will be the fourth meeting of the year between the two schools. Lassen was 1-0-2 against the Eagles in the regular season. Lassen, who has not played since defeating Central Valley on Feb. 5th, have a 9-1-3 record for the year while West Valley is 11-1-2, including a 3-0 victory over Corning in the teams first round playoff game, (2/20).
The Lassen boys will host Wheatland High School in Tuesday’s second game. The Grizzlies are 8-3-2 and, as with the Lassen ladies, have not played a match since the teams regular season finale against Central Valley nearly three weeks ago. Wheatland (4-8-2) advanced to the semi-finals with a 5-2 upset win over third seeded Las Plumas, (2/20). This will be the first “official” meeting of the year between the two teams. The two squads did play a “mini-match” at a pre-season Jamboree. While the final score of that contest is not an official result, Wheatland did defeat the Grizzlies.
Action is scheduled to get underway at 3:00 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24th, at Riverside Park. Both Lassen squads are #2 seeds.
NOTE: The Lassen High Soccer Boosters will be hosting another of their famed tailgate parties at the matches, offering up hot chocolate, soft drinks and food for the fans. Grab a jacket and come out to Riverside Park for some high school playoff soccer…
