District soccer

The Grand Island Northwest boys soccer team is one win away from qualifying for the Class B State Tournament. The Vikings used a three-goal explosion in overtime to knock off Columbus Lakeview 4-1 on Tuesday in the semifinals.

Northwest will have to get past York in Thursday's championship. The fifth-seeded Dukes have already eliminated fourth-seeded Hastings and top-seeded Columbus Lakeview.

If the Vikings get their offense going like they did against Lakeview, then they'll likely make the trip to Omaha next week. However, York has proven it can win the low scoring ones, including a 1-0 shootout win over Scotus in the semis. If rain can be avoided, it should be an interesting, well-played final.
