Lake Highlands soccer’s storybook season has come to an end. It took two overtimes and five penalty kicks to do it, but Allen defeated the Wildcats to advance to the state tournament in Georgetown.
Allen popped in an early goal, but James Boone leveled the game in the second half, scoring off a corner kick on an assist from Charlie Willmann. Goalkeeper Noah Smith kept Allen out of the net, and the score remained 1-1 after two overtimes. Allen bested LHHS 5-4 on penalty kicks to claim the regional championship trophy.

The Wildcats will surely miss their seniors next year, but their roster is deep with juniors and sophomores. Mark your calendar to watch this team next season. Go Cats.
