After a messy night against Glencliff last Thursday, the Raptor soccer program is ready for a fun week of good weather (hopefully) and good competition. The JV game was completed in full with the Raptors coming away with a 4-1 victory. Goals were scored by Ernesto Rodriguez, Drew Dodson and Adam McMullen, with the fourth coming on an own goal. However, Varsity struggled to get it's footing in the rain and ended up on the wrong side of a 2-1 65 minute, weather-shortened contest. The lone Raptor goal was awarded to Nick Dang, with the assist credited to Dominic Miller.

This week's festivities start with an away game on Tuesday against Independence, as Varsity has a chance to secure 2nd place in the final district standings and JV can continue it's undefeated streak in district competition. The boys will then celebrate Senior Night on Thursday with a home matchup against Hillsboro. Come out and support the Raptors this week.
