Boys soccer lost a hard-fought match against first-place conference opponent Elmwood Park 2 to 1. Abe helped us take the lead with a goal from 30 yards out and our entire team played a great game on both ends. Next up, the boys travel to Stillman Valley tomorrow for an 11 am match.

Let's give a special shout out to Ben Munsie for his amazing accomplishment this past summer where his 4x100 track relay team took 2nd place at the Special Olympics State Meet. Congratulations to Ben and his team!
