Varsity Soccer Team Finishes Second!

The boy’s Varsity soccer team placed second in the GHSA Fall Soccer League. This is their best finish ever since placing third two years ago. The hard work and dedication to the season has really paid off.

The team went into the game with a big overtime semi-final win over Galloway. This exciting game was played before a large and enthusiastic home crowd. This game and a record of 8-3-3, set the stage for the final.

The championship game was played against Pace Academy on their home turf. The beginning of the game did not go well as the Eagles quickly went down 3-0. The game evened up after that, but the great play of our team just could not make up the difference. Although the final score was 4-2 for Pace, the team feels that it has made tremendous progress for next year. Our goal now is to win the title and bring home Varsity Soccer’s first championship!
