Padgett says, “We had good chemistry and came together over the season. It could always be better, but I’m more than happy with this season.” Padgett commented, “For underclassmen going to play, show up on time for games and practices.”

The Eagles ended with a score of 2-1 for a win against Thomas Jefferson. Preston Padgett (12) scored both goals for the Eagles.
