Boys Head into Playoffs on High Note

Jacob Dukes • March 20, 2014

The end of the regular season came in a 2-1 victory over Madison for the boys soccer team Mar. 18. The team ended up with a 11-5-4 (W-L-T) record, second place in district, and a playoff spot.

“We’re in the show,” Coach Damion Simmons said. “We haven’t lost in a long time, so we are playing our best soccer that we need to be playing.”

Churchill will win this year’s district title and has not suffered a district loss all season.

“I hope we see them one more time,” Simmons said.
