In 2007, Century won the boys' state soccer title for the first time in school history. The Patriots entered the state tournament as the WDA #2 seed following a shoot-out loss to Bismarck High School in the regional championship game. [1] Following a 1-0 victory over Fargo Shanley High School, the Patriots again went to a shoot-out against the EDC #1 seed, Fargo South High School. During 100 minutes of regulation and overtime, Century sophomore goalkeeper Michael Frenzel made 13 saves. Frenzel also made one save in the shoot-out, which coupled with goals from Alex Paulson, Joey Paulus, David Gendreau, and Broderick Neameyer gave Century a 4-2 victory and a berth in the state championship game. [2] The championship game matched Century and Bismarck High School for the second time in eight days. Following a scoreless first half, Century fell behind 1-0 off a goal by Bismarck's Ryan Malm. The Patriots overcame the deficit scoring four goals in the final twenty-five minutes (3 Alex Paulson, 1 Scott Rings), and went on to win the game 4-1.[3] Following the championship, sophomore Michael Frenzel and seniors Alex Paulson, Joey Paulus and David Gendreau were named to the all-tournament team. Paulson and Paulus were also named 1st team all-state, while senior Cole Kroshus was named 2nd team all-state.[4]
