Last Friday night included two exciting games for Middle School Soccer at Audi Field. The girls’ team fell to DCI, and the boys’ team scored an end of game goal to beat Basis, 1-0. Eighth grader Simon Baldwin scored the goal, and eighth grader Tate Meier protected and blocked many shots as goalie. This weekend ends the fall season with the Girls on the Run 5K run on Sunday at 8 AM at Anacostia Park. After winning the PCSAA tournament, the middle school boys proceed to the final game of the season, the Capital Cup, on Friday at 5 at the Fields at RFK against the DCPS league champion, Cardozo. Wow, what an amazing season for all the teams. It is sad to say goodbye to fall sports!
