The Kingsford High School boys soccer team traveled to Rhinelander, Wisconsin, on the day after a 4‑1 defeat at the hands of Marquette at Flivver Field. The loss dropped the Flivvers to a 3‑1 record, but the setback has only sharpened their focus as they gear up for the next round of the Marquette Triangular series.

Among the standout performances were senior midfielder Gavin Kinsella, who displayed tight control of the ball throughout the match, and forward Jett Buckley, whose aggressive pressing created several scoring chances. Both players were instrumental in keeping the team competitive despite the final score.
