If growth as a team would win championships, this team would have won hands down. They may have come up short in the quarterfinal game against Elk County Catholic, but they showed how much they grew as a team and as a unit that continued to play their game of soccer until the final whistle.

They accomplished so many things that have never been done before or haven’t been done in a very long time.

They had a game filled schedule….18 games compared to 9 games a season in the past.

They beat Karns City for the first time in team history.

They beat DuBois.

They beat Brockway… twice.

They scored 101 goals as a team!!

They only allowed 21 goals in the net.

They played and grew as a TEAM!

They created so many memories on and off the field and truly enjoyed and appreciated each other.

We are so very thankful for such an amazing season! They were fun to watch!!

(Great Season, Lions!!!! Thanks to Mindi Verdill this article and her fine coverage this season and seasons past!! Thanks to Kristen Geiger for her photos!!)
