The District Championship in soccer is back, with the Monarch High School boys’ and girls’ teams competing.
The boys advanced to the District Final for the third straight year following a 4-2 win over Coral Glades. The Knights have won the last two District Championships and received a pair of goals from Ruddy Augusto and Steve Moodie Jr.
“Overall, we played a great game as a team today, and we capitalized on most of our opportunities,” Head Coach Eric Swickle said. We are excited and ready to play the winner of Douglas and Taravella.”
