Fabian Abarca gave the home crowd at Billy Ellis Memorial Stadium a moment of jubilation when he put the ball in the back of the net with less than two minutes remaining. That feeling quickly disappeared with one wave of a referee’s flag, as did Abarca’s would-be goal. An offsides penalty denied Abarca the game-tying goal he appeared to score against eighth-ranked Cross Keys with 1:47 left on the clock Saturday, and the fourth-ranked Knights saw their hopes of a second straight appearance in the state semifinal game extinguished with a 3-2 loss in the Class AAAA state quarterfinals in Oakwood.
