Damon Miles (11), said, ¨Districts didn’t go as planned, but I’m going to prepare for next year by working out and getting in shape during the offseason.¨
The boys’ soccer team altogether had a remarkable season. The team beat Laquey two times, and they demolished Hillcrest with a score of 9-0. The team also had three tournaments. Their record in both the Fair Grove and Stover Invitational tournaments were 2-1. The boys also got second place in the Marshfield tournament where the Eagles beat Marshfield for the second time during the regular season.

They plan to work hard in the off-season to replace the four graduating seniors this year and to improve their record.
