The Arapahoe High School boys’ soccer team made a strong first
impression in the Centennial League this fall.
Milt Geist scored with 27:05 remaining in regulation as the
Warriors defeated visiting Grandview, the 2007 Centennial champion,
1-0 Oct. 14 in Littleton to finish unbeaten and as league champions
for 2008 – the team’s first year in the league since the mid
1980s.
Geist took a lead pass from Connor Talbert with a couple of
steps on his defender on the left side of the box. Arapahoe is now
9-1-4 overall and 6-0-1 in league play, finishing ahead of 5-1
Cherry Creek.
“We really wanted to go undefeated because it’s our first year
in this league and we wanted to send a message,” Geist said. “Smoky
Hill, Cherry Creek and Grandview are always three of the top teams
in state. To come in here this year and beat all three of them
really sends a message that we belong here.”
