Derek Olson's soccer team headed back to State!

Deb Edwards sent the following:

Derek's team was having a pretty good season-about what we expected- after losing 13 seniors to graduation from last year's team. They've been putting it together for the playoffs, though, and it's been a great season. On Saturday, they won their Section Championship, earning a trip to the State Tournament. His team plays Wednesday night against the #1 seed, Totino Grace. Wish us luck!
There was a story on their win in Sunday's StarTribune: http://www.startribune.com/sports/preps/65913582.html?
