Boys' Soccer Season Concludes
 Our boys' soccer team had a great season. The boys came up just one goal short in a heart-breaking loss to McAllen South Texas Christian Academy in the semi-final round of the TAPPS State playoffs on October 20. The Eagles began their playoff journey by defeating Austin Waldorf 10-0 on October 12 and then were victorious over San Antonio Keystone Academy in the quarter-final round on October 17, winning that game in double-overtime.
With only 4 seniors and a large number of freshmen and sophomores on the roster, the team is poised for an even stronger season next year. Also, six of our boys were selected to the All-District First Team. Sophomore Edgar Chaidez was named #1 forward and junior Missael Lara was named #1 midfielder.
We are so proud of the hard work these boys put in all season!
