A Rain‑Soaked Final
St. Andrew's faced Westminster of Augusta in the Class 3A State title game, a contest delayed by lightning and a heavy downpour that pushed the kickoff back by several minutes.
Casas' Double Strike
Westminster's Adrian Casas opened the scoring with a perfectly placed free kick before adding a penalty to extend the lead to 2‑0, showcasing composure under pressure.
St. Andrew's Tate Salter answered with a spectacular long‑range strike that pulled the visitors within one, while Ryan Bodine capped the scoring with the final goal of the match.
Looking Ahead for the Lions
The Lions will lose several senior stalwarts, including Charles Strain, Orlando Aja‑Herrera and Matthew Minton, but a wave of promising youngsters such as Will Berman and Reefe Reiter are set to return and bolster the squad.
Goalkeeper Morris Lane, also a standout golfer who has committed to SCAD, will remain a key figure between the posts as the team rebuilds.
