Heady Times for Menomonee Falls Boys Soccer Team

Menomonee Falls has never been to the WIAA boys soccer state tournament, but 2011 could be the year.

The Indians (17-3-2, 5-2-0 Greater Metro Conference) own the No. 1 seed in their 16-team sectional, which begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday with a home game against 16th-seeded West Allis Central.

Falls has victories over both Brookfield East and Brookfield Central, which are the second- and third-seeded teams in this sectional. The Indians have lost only to unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Marquette, to Appleton North and to Wauwatosa East, which is the No. 6 seed in this powerhouse sectional.

According to statistics at WisSports.net, Nick Burgoyne leads the Falls attack with 14 goals and 13 assists for 41 points.

Falls would have to win four matches to reach the state finals at Uihlein Soccer Park, and most likely will have to beat either East or Central again to get there.
