East High of KC leads charge to Missouri boys soccer final four: MSHAA scores, schedule

The Missouri semifinals for the MSHSAA boys high school soccer state tournaments were set Saturday

And the East High Bears of Kansas City Public Schools’ Interscholastic League are headed to the final four.

East trounced Jefferson City 6-0 in an afternoon Class 3 quarterfinal match in Kansas City, one of a dozen quarterfinals that sent winners to the semifinals across Missouri’s four high school soccer classifications.

The East Bears (19-2-1) will next take on Glendale (25-2) of Springfield, a 2-1 winner Saturday over Webb City, in Friday’s Class 3 state semifinals at 1:30 p.m. in Fenton.

The victor Friday gets the winner of Friday’s other semifinal, between Whitfield and Webster Groves, for a shot at the Class 3 state championship on Saturday, Nov. 19.

In Class 4, Rockhurst edged Kickapoo of Springfield 1-0 Saturday, leading the Hawklets to a 7 p.m. Friday semifinal in Fenton against Rock Bridge of Columbia. Liberty North lost 1-0 to Rock Bridge Saturday evening.

Excelsior Springs advanced to the final four in Class 2, shutting out Barstow 5-0 Saturday afternoon. The Tigers face Marshall at 5 p.m. Friday in Fenton.

Summit Christian Academy rallied from a 2-0 deficit Saturday to beat the Maryville Spoofhounds 3-2 and will play New Covenant Academy Friday in Fenton for a berth in the Class 1 championship game.
