With head coach Abdul Noor entering his fifth year, the team is riding high on a 2024 season that boasted an impressive record of 11 wins, 2 draws, and just 4 losses. The return of standout players like David Carter, who earned First-Team All-State honors, positions them for another strong campaign. Adding depth to the roster, newcomers like Gustavs Batvics and Franklin Melendez are set to make an impact, aiming for a top finish this season.

Lourdes High School

Lourdes High School had an unforgettable 2024, finishing with a record of 17-4-1 and celebrating their title as Section 1, Class 1A champs and Class 1A State runner-up. Head coach Eric Feil, now in his third season, has his sights set high again. Despite some key players departing, they’re bringing back a solid defensive line with stars like Will Jacob, a junior All-State goalkeeper. They expect to put up a strong fight for conference and sectional titles.

Mayo High School

Mayo High School captured the spotlight last season as the Big 9 champions and Section 1-3A champions with a jaw-dropping record of 15 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws.
