Josh Tanner gathered his team in a circle after the game. It was a speech he was not expecting to give 45 minutes earlier.
The tears flowed from the West Brook players' eyes as they could not hold on to a one-goal lead, falling to League City Clear Falls 2-1 in double overtime in a class 5A regional quarterfinal at Stallworth Stadium in Baytown.
The West Brook defense hadn't allowed a regulation goal during the playoffs, but they were not able to keep a Clear Falls team that had scored six goals coming into the game from getting on the board.
"Honestly, it went the rest of the game did," Tanner responded when asked what went wrong on the given up goals.
A scoreless first half saw the Clear Falls on the attack most of the half. Senior goalkeeper Stacy Dolan was once again able to make the saves she needed to keep the Lady Knights off the board, including one that saw her fully sprawled out to her left.
There was considerably more action in the second half, with West Brook getting on the board first. Senior midfielder Sydney Allen took a free kick from about 30 yards out on the near the right sideline and drilled it past Clear Falls goalkeeper Alex Sheppard, who barely got a piece of the ball before it went in the net.
