Congratulations.
We are one month away from the beginning of the GHSA soccer playoffs and it looks as if everything will go according to plan. A stark contrast from one year ago.
Yes. You read that correctly and it’s worth saying again.
High school soccer playoffs return in one month for the first time since Lambert beat Lakeside-DeKalb 2-1 to win the Class 7A championship on May 18th, 2019 at McEachern.
It has been a long road.
