Varsity Boys Soccer (Co-op) @ Fairmont

The boys’ varsity soccer team came out with revenge on their mind after tying with Fairmont previously in the season. In a game that did not show much scoring, the Eagles took this one 1-0. Christian Edwards was responsible for the goal. The boys look to build off of this momentum the rest of the season.
