The 8th grade girls had a great season and became the first girls’ soccer HJPC champions in over 20 years. Their record was 12-2 and grew in skill and became closer over the season. They won the championship in a shootout with goalie Alex J. having the only save. The team had many emotional celebrations and a season they will never forget. Alex J. said, “This season is one I will never forget, and it will always be in my heart.” Her teammate Hanley C. agreed, saying,
“We bonded as a team over the season, and I could not be prouder with our final result.”
