Proving Them Wrong

               The Lady Dots soccer team of 2011-2012 is having the best season Poca High School’s soccer program has ever had.  Not only have the lady dots had an outstanding record; they have also broken the school record for most wins.  They are now in sectional play and one game away from the Sectional Championship. 

                The lady dots have not only won games many people thought little Poca could never do, they have earned respect from other teams and soccer fans through West Virginia.  The Lady Dots now have a school record of 17-4-1.  They are also 4^th in the state and have the leading defense in all of double A.  The defense has an average of 1.1 goals scored on them per game.  They also won their first sectional game 3 to 0 against Hoover and then went on to play the sectional championship game.  This was a huge game because they played Charleston Catholic, the three time state champions who hadn’t lost a post season game in three years.  The dots came away with a great victory over Charleston Catholic with the score of 1 to 0.  The dots scored their goal in the first half of the match and managed to hold Catholic scoreless for the rest of the game.  The Dots are now sectional champs and headed to Regional’s.  For the first time ever at Poca High School, the lady dots soccer team won a sectional championship and is going to the regionals.  The regional game will be played at Point Pleasant Thursday October 27, 2011.  The dots will face their biggest rivals, the Sissonville Indians.  Even though Sissonville is #1 in the state it should be a hard fought game.  The winner of the game will advance to states and have a shot for the state title.  Two of the dots four losses have came from Sissonville, but if the soccer team can play a hard aggressive game, they most definitely can come out on top.  Hopefully everyone will go out and cheer on the soccer team.  The support has been great this year, and hopefully there will be a large crowd at the regional game.  This has been an outstanding year for the dot’s soccer team and they are not ready to quit yet; ladies just play hard and you can kill the ville!
