Collins Hill Back in State Soccer Final -- Barely

The Collins Hill boys soccer team still has a crown on its head, but it was getting wobbly there for awhile Thursday in Suwanee.

The Eagles, who have been to the past five state title games, needed penalty kicks to defeat Harrison, 2-1, after ending regulation tied at 1 and going through two scoreless five-minute overtime periods.

Eagles goaltender Jackson Taylor stopped a Harrison penalty shot to seal the victory.

. The site is to be determined -- either at Kennesaw State or West Georgia University.

It appeared that the Eagles might put the game away in regulation. Paul Ille scored at 25:40 of the second half for a 1-0 lead. But Harrison's Cole Guertin tied the game on a penalty kick at 4:57 to play.

"I wish we could have put them away in the first 25 (minutes)," Collins Hill coach Mike Burrell said.

Collins Hill had 12 shots and four shots on goal, to four shots and three shots on goal for Harrison, from Kennesaw.
