If you have not heard, the Junior High soccer team won the Championship game against Northwest Christian on Oct. 25. Last year, they played Northwest and lost by one point, but this year the Junior High team beat Northwest.

“It was crazy,” said Coach Dean Sale. “We won 3-2 with 18 seconds left.”

I talked to John Zello and Hayden Sampson and they both told me that they weren’t surprised and were confident they would win the whole season. This year the Junior. High soccer team had an amazing season, and next season it will be the same.

This year instead of having two teams, they held tryouts and just made one.
