Washburn Rural's girls soccer team ended its regular season with a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to nine-time state champion Blue Valley West Friday night at McElroy Field, with the Jaguars snapping the Junior Blues' 10-game shutout streak.
But Rural coach Brian Hensyel knows that the Junior Blues' goals for the 2024 season are still in front of them as they prepare to open Class 6A postseason next Tuesday.
Washburn Rural, now 13-3-0, has assured itself of home field advantage for the first three rounds of the playoffs and Friday's loss did nothing to change Hensyel's opinion that the Junior Blues are capable of making a deep postseason run.
"We try to challenge ourselves with really tough games in the regular season because we know what the end looks like,'' Hensyel said. "We were real glad when this game got postponed a couple of weeks ago and it became our last game because it's the perfect game to play right before the playoffs.
"I'm very, very proud of our effort tonight, but when you get the best teams in the state, and I feel like we're one of those five, six seven teams that could compete for a state title, it's going to be a one-goal game, it's going to be who makes that play, a ball finds its way in the back of the net. That's just how it is.''

Cair Paravel Latin sophomore tennis standout Drew Fay, making his second straight Class 3A-1A state singles appearance, posted two straight victories on Friday at the Harmon Park Tennis Complex in Prairie Village, advancing to Saturday's state semifinals.
Fay (23-9) will square off against defending 3A-1A state singles champ Caleb Bartels of Kansas City Christian in the semifinal, a rematch of last week's regional final at Marysville. Bartels took a 6-1, 6-0 win in that match.
Bartels (31-0) is a two-time state champion, winning a 3A-1A doubles title as a sophomore in 2022 after finishing third in singles as a freshman in 2021.
Hayden's doubles team of senior Joseph Luke and junior Chase Blaser (21-10) will also compete on Saturday, putting themselves in position for a state medal with a 3-1 record on Friday.
