It was 10 years ago in 1999 that Mountain View reached its last boys soccer state final. A scoreless tie with Jesuit gave the John Stockton-coached team the school’s only state soccer title.

With Tuesday’s 2-1 win over cross-town rival Bend, the Cougars face off against Corvallis in the State Championship game Saturday @ Liberty High School in Hillsboro @ 10:30am.

Corvallis (14-3 overall) has been dominant this year, outscoring its opponents 82-19, including 9-0 in three playoff games. Their only loss to a Class 5A team all year came at the hands of Bend high in late September.

Mountain View (8-6-3) picked a good time to be playing its best soccer, as the Cougars ended the regular season with 1-0 loss to Summit. Since then, MV has survived two 2-1 playoff wins and a 3-0 playoff victory over IMC foe The Dalles-Wahtonka.
