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.

Tuesday's game was senior night, so Coach Simmons made sure all seniors got some playing time. Photo by Jacob Dukes — Tuesday’s game was senior night, so Coach Simmons made sure all seniors got some playing time.

The game seemed to be in the team’s grasp until a goal off of a bobbled save by the goalie. Later, the boys would regain the lead.
