The St. Andrew’s Lions entered the state championship game with a chance to end a 16‑year title drought, while Westminster Schools of Augusta looked to extend a three‑year reign.
A brief delay caused by rain and lightning paused the action, but once play resumed Westminster struck first, with Adrian Casas finding the net early to put his side ahead.
St. Andrew’s answered back when Tate Salter struck an equalizer, shifting momentum and forcing Westminster to regroup.
A Second‑Half Surge
Westminster’s offense surged in the second half, adding two more goals to pull away and seal a 3‑1 victory.
The win gave Westminster its fourth consecutive state championship, while St. Andrew’s finished the season at 13‑7, a respectable record that coach Blake Seale praised for its resilience and growth.
