The Boys Varsity Soccer team has been on a roll! Last week, the Saxons defeated Wheeling High School 2–1 to secure the Mid-Suburban West Division title — their first since 2015. Then, in an intense MSL Conference Semifinal matchup, the team battled hard and came out on top with a 1–0 victory over Hersey. With that win, the Saxons advance to the MSL Championship, where they’ll face Fremd this Thursday night right here at home. Let’s pack the stands and cheer them on!
