Thank you to the soccer community
When we launched West Suburban Soccer we weren’t sure what to expect from the soccer community. We started with the hope that 8 or 10 teams would sign on, and somehow we ended up with 25 teams willing to roll the dice on this new form of soccer coverage.
Our goal has simply been to give high school soccer players the recognition they deserve for their effort and commitment to the sport. From Lyons Township west to West Aurora, and from Barrington south to Neuqua Valley, we’ve been lucky enough to watch and report on some of the best high school soccer programs in Illinois.
With the season winding down, we just wanted to say thanks to the soccer community for embracing the coverage we’ve provided. The importance of the support and enthusiasm that parents, coaches, and players have put forth to make this site a success can’t be overstated. Without their help, this venture would have never gotten off the ground. |

Looking back:
The 2004 DG South Mustangs
By Gary Larsen
Five years ago today one of the most heart-stopping moments the state title game has ever seen occurred. It’s captured on a 27-second piece of game tape from the 2004 title game between Buffalo Grove and Downers Grove South.
“Even now, when I watch that play, I cringe,” Mike McCormack said. “It was so close and the timing of it was so critical.”
With only seconds left in a scoreless state title game, Buffalo Grove had a throw-in deep in Downers Grove territory.
The ball was flicked and came down six yards out from the near post, where a Buffalo Grove player stepped forward and hammered a head shot that by all rights should have given the Bison a state title.
