Senior player Ian Jackson said, “ I am proud of the progress our team has made throughout the season. All of us have the same goal to win our school the first boys soccer state title. With resilience and determination, I know the team can achieve this goal.”
Both teams played great on their way to a championship. The boys came out with a win on Saturday October 7 beating Southport High School 2-0, that followed up an incredible 9-0 win against Warren Central.
The boys soccer team will play Warren High School at Warren at 6PM. “This is my first year playing High School soccer and I have grown very close with my teammates and made lots of friends. Although we might not all be close outside of soccer we all treat each other like family. A word that is printed on all of our practice and game kits. We need a loud crowd on Wednesday night, so pack the stands.” Jackson.
