So, we celebrate the hard work of these student-athletes this third quarter.

The 2019–20 season was one to remember! This season both Men’s and Ladies’ Varsity Soccer advanced further than before in the postseason. Last year, they both celebrated a district championship in 2019. For the men’s team, they returned after losing seven key seniors, and questions remained about how successful this year’s season could be.

When the Lions upset the highly talented Scheck Hillel team with a 1-0 win, they advanced the furthest in the program’s history to the Regional Final. “I am extremely proud of the boys...
