When you lose in the postseason, there’s often a lot of sadness. Sadness that the season is over. Sadness that your high school playing career has come to an end. Sadness that you may not see or play with your teammates again. Tuesday’s 1-0 loss by Chancellor to visiting Monacan in the Region 4B boys soccer semifinals had all of that but added the end of an era. Before that end came to reality though, there was a game to be played.

This game has a saying: "Soccer is a game of inches." It references to how close plays, close bounces, close calls and the like can go either way in deciding the result of a match. In Tuesday's Region 4B girls soccer semifinal played at Chancellor High School, those inches went against top-seeded Courtland more than they did for Monacan as the visiting Chiefs scored in the fourth overtime period to get a 3-2 sudden-victory win.
