MS BOYS' SOCCER
10/12/22:
The boys soccer team finished up their season under the lights at the Charlotte Christian School field playing a tough Country Day team. At half the score was 1-0. It was a full team effort and everyone had a good game. Even though the boys lost, the improvement from the first game to the last was tremendous. The goalies played well today. The midfielders worked hard on offense and defense and our strikers had some good chances. Great job Knights!
