Unfortunately, I did not receive this announcement before Saturday's deadline, but LCHS boys soccer stands to live another day in the high school boys soccer state tournament.
Cibola and Las Cruces Boys Soccer Teams To Playoff for Semifinal Advancement
ALBUQUERQUE - The New Mexico Activities Association would like to announce that the Cibola and Las Cruces boy’s soccer teams will play a “playoff” game on Tuesday, November 6 to determine the team that will advance to the semifinals on November 8 at the Bernalillo Soccer Complex.
A mistake was made by the New Mexico Activities Association in the clarification of the World Cup tie breaking procedures. One document distributed by the NMAA in the coaches’ packet prior to the tournament declares Las Cruces the winner of pool C. In effort to clarify the tie breaking procedures another document distributed during tournament play declares Cibola the winner. (See attached documents).
The NMAA takes full responsibility for the mistake. In an effort to decide the champion of pool C, the NMAA believes that this is the best decision for all teams involved in the sport of soccer in our first year of World Cup play.
The game time and location of the “playoff” game will be determined by the NMAA on Monday, November 5. The NMAA will pay all expenses incurred by the schools in regards to the “playoff” game.
For more information concerning this announcement, please contact Robert Zayas, NMAA Director of Communications at (505) 977-5386.
