Edgerton boys soccer is heading to state for the first time after a last-minute goal

Edgerton's program began about 14 years ago and now heads to state

  1. About 2012Edgerton starts boys soccer, at first using a county park.
  2. Oct. 31Edgerton beats Madison Country Day co-op 1-0 in the sectional final.
  3. Nov. 6Edgerton will face Kettle Moraine Lutheran at 7 p.m. at state.

Edgerton boys soccer is going to state for the first time in program history. The Crimson Tide beat the Madison Country Day co-op 1-0 in Saturday's sectional final when junior Jose Diaz scored in the final minute off a pass from sophomore Connor Skarda. Goalie Guillermo Diaz made 11 saves in Sun Prairie.

  • Next game: Fri., Nov. 6, 7 p.m., vs. Kettle Moraine Lutheran
  • Seeds: Edgerton No. 3, Kettle Moraine Lutheran No. 2
  • Where: in Milwaukee
  • Record: 14-0-4 entering state

The path wasn't dull: Skarda scored a back-heel goal against McFarland, and one playoff game ended in an 8-7 penalty shootout. Not bad for a program that wasn't allowed on the school's turf field at first. If you want to go, spectators are signing up for a fan bus to the tournament.

Seven of Edgerton's eight all-conference players made the first team

  • Eats: Draft Picks Pub House and Food Truck Alley
  • Jobs: hundreds hired as the casino opened

The opening also marked a homecoming. In a column on the opening ceremonies, Bill Barth writes that one of the larger Ho-Chunk villages stood where Turtle Creek meets the Rock River, in what's now Beloit. He says speakers paid tribute to ancestral leaders including White Crow, Whirling Thunder and Walking Turtle, and that Ho-Chunk President Jon Greendeer delivered a speech about the Nation's history.
