5.25.07 : O'Fallon Finishes Season in Second

Friday night the Flames took to the road for the season finale against the Fenton Wanderers and manager Mitch Morice. O'Fallon needed at least a point to secure second place in the 06-07 SLSL season. A win would give them the spot outright.

A goal in each half had O'Fallon in the drivers' seat. However a goal by Fenton with just under two minutes remaining and a shot off the post with :10 left made for an interesting finish. When the match had ended the Flames had held on for a dramatic 2-1 road win and had finished in second place.

"It's an historic day for our organization!" An excited Jeff Drake said after the match. "We played well all season and especially today. After a fourth place finish last season, finishing in the two spot ahead of teams like Florissant and the Central West End is an incredible accomplishment for our club."
