Boys Soccer Update:
The boys team played a well fought game but came up on the short end of 1-0 score to Medina in a Regional Semi-final game last Wednesday. Every team's season except for the state champions end with a loss, but that does not diminish the outstanding season the boys team had.  Highlights would include a second place finish in the SWC, the first District Championship since 1998, and a 11 game winning streak.  Congrats to the boys on a great season!!


SWC Update:
There have been more changes to the lineup in the Southwest Conference for the 2015-16 school year.  Brecksville has now decided to drop out of the SWC to join the Suburban League in 2015.  That created an opening which will now be filled by North Ridgeville. The new SWC will field 10 teams in Fall of 2015 as follows:

Amherst
Avon
Avon Lake
Berea-Midpark
Lakewood
Midview
North Olmsted
North Ridgeville
Olmsted Falls
Westlake

Looking at this new lineup for girls soccer, it should be a very evenly matched conference and one that Avon Lake should be in a position to compete for a conference championship every year.

Win or lose you will never regret working hard, making sacrifices, being disciplined or focusing too much.
