Not state but lost in C.I.F Finals.

My junior year vs. Orange Lutheran in Division III high school volleyball. Match went to 5 games. We won the first and fourth game and got destroyed in thefifth, 8-15. Myself, I had a horrible game, hit .195 with 14 kills.
Lost in the quarter-finals my senior year

.

Again, not state, but in a BBall League I was in we lost 2 championship games in a row.

First one, we got killed. Nothing we could you do. Second one, our best player got hurt in the first half so that didnt help.

Lost in the playoffs (way it works in Massachusetts is their is only the semi's then the State Championship so I guess its pretty close) when I was asophomore, just played a better team can't really say much. Probably could have called some better plays but we hit this program right in the middle oftheir "streak" (the team didn't lose a game for the 4 years I was in high school) so I dunno if much would have changed.

My senior year we didn't lose the state championship but lost the league title due to a blocked punt

and then a missed field goal

. I felt like wewere the better team (even with our best player on the team/in the state at the time out with an injury) in this scenario but hey they ended up scoring 1 pointthan us so it doesn't really matter what I think.

My junior year in high school we lost the state championship in basketball. It was the best game I ever played. But it was one of my worst memories ever. Mycoach got kicked out the game at halftime. Our assistant coach really did not know how to coach so I was a player coach for the rest of the game. At the end itis hard for me not to think that race played a part if the loss. We were the only team with black players and a black head coach. We lost the game in the lastminutes of the game. We had a silly turnover and a kid on my team missed a lay-up that would have tied the game. They wrote about the game in the paper thenext day and I could not even read the article. That happened about 5 yrs ago and I still did not read that article. The thing that is the most crazy is thatmy name is in blood print in the paper. How many people do like to read about themselves?

06-07 cif southern section football championship. played WR for La Quinta High, we lost to JW North. i tore my ACL, MCL miniscus, etc. in my knee in thefirst quarter from a mis-step on field turf( it was faster than i expected), our tailback got a concussion on the last play before halftime, all the wheelsfell off. JW was a good team, so i wont knock them, but "we shoulda won". as for my knee, surgery meant no rugby or track my senior year, bummer. butlife goes on i learned. because college makes you realize, o ya that was only highschool...

I lost two state championship games in high school ball, and the next few days were tough but you get over it. Oh and the won state title I did win easily madeup for the pain of the losses.

In 1991 we lost to Stephen Davis,yes the one from the ******** and the Panthers. Dude was beastin at six one 230. Was the fastest thing i have ever seen atthat size. He took a pitch on a toss and was ghost no rumbling bumbling ,dude was gone. We had a 320lb dt ,Davis just truck sticked him.That truck was on thefront page of the state paper the next day. We had two twin brothers playing corner,Clemson bound,they remixed the term arm tackle. Shook like a chandelierduring a earthquake. We were #14 in the USA Today rankings. 13and 0.Our qb Wally Richardson did not throw a int all year, threw 2. Not his fault o-line noprotection.Wally went to Penn State and played for the Ravens and the XFL. IMO bad coaching. Our running back had 115 yds on 5 carries in the first half andstopped geting the ball. BTW i was trash on the bench the whole game.

Its cool they let them play at Foxoboro for the super bowl. I went to the game where chelmsford won this year, coldest i might have ever been.

But lost in the state final junior year then beat the same team the next year in the state final. gotta love Maine High School Sports

Once in a 3 on 3 summer tournament. It sucked. We lost the first game and had to play back to back to back games to get to the championship. It was hot as hellthat day too. We just ran out of gas.

The next year we won it all though, which was just this last month

Undefeated this time, 6-0 in the tournament and we won $600

 

[kingkb34]

My team senior year lost to the eventual state champs, but we also beat 2 other state champs in other divisions during theyear. (4 total state champs in Ohio every year)

 

[im like pele]

California Cup
U12 Boys soccer.

Lost in semis to a team (Chivas Jr) we have beaten time and time again. The team that won the championship (Santa Rosa Gold) was the team we actually beat toqualify for the round of 16...

Sophmore year lost a game that would've put us in the playoffs, I missed the game winner(we were down by 1).
