A nine-year state playoff drought for the Libby boys soccer team ended Saturday at J. Neils Memorial Park when the Loggers tied Bigfork, 3-3.
The Loggers claimed the third spot in the North and will play at No. 1 South finisher Stevensville at 2 p.m. Saturday.
"We finally reached our goal," head coach Joe Martineau said. "The boys played great and the seniors as freshmen were part of the team that broke Libby’s losing streak and the first team in nine years that made it to the playoffs. I have nothing but pride for these gentleman for their dedication and effort they put into the game."
