Continuing through the game, the boys scored an additional three points before the final buzzer solidified their spot into the semifinals, where they then played against Dunlap.
During their game against Dunlap, they were ready for a good game with high spirits. Unfortunately for them, the game did not go smoothly, as they lost with a score of 0-7. The boys played hard as a team for their last soccer game of the season.
Senior Jubraan Alkhalaf says that he, “felt confident [in] my teammates and I after our first win but we unluckily drew a top 20 team in the state so that was quite defeating.”
The boys had a great season with many memories they can look back on.
Sophomore Kevin Ruiz says that his favorite memory is “beating LP. It’s always fun beating them because it’s always competitive.”
