Playing for Seeds

Exactly a week after their disappointing loss to Rural, the Seaman Vikings hit the road to take on Topeka High at Hummer Sports Park. Senior night for the Trojans brought a large rowdy crowd to see each of the team's play their last regular season game. Topeka High was playing for a number four seed in their regional, which would bring with it at least one postseason home contest. Seaman on the other hand, was playing for a potential one seed, or at least holding onto a two seed in their central regional. This would establish home field advantage throughout the regional playoffs for the Vikes. The intensity was visible throughout the game, before the teams went in for an 80 minute lightning delay after only 16 minutes of play. The delay proved as no hinderance for either of the teams, who took the turf and played in a downpour for a period of time. Chances mounted for both sides, but neither could put one in the net and at the end of regulation the score was 0-0. Overtime proved to be no solution as both teams continued to attack with no avail. The game ended in a draw nearly two hours after the designated end time. With this result Topeka High fell to the six seed, while Seaman held on to their number two seed and clinched home field advantage for the Central Regional 2 playoffs. Their next game is Monday, October 25, against seventh seeded Salina South (3-11-2).
