Finished out the season last night w/ a 23-2-3 record—a new school record for most wins. We scored 99 goals and gave up just 13. We’ll be in the
@NKYBoysSoccer
record books all over the place.
The 2018 team will be remembered as the BEST HIGHLANDS BOYS SOCCER TEAM yet.
Our condolences to the St. Henry boys soccer program and community. We’re so sorry to hear the tragic news. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
This guy was a
@FTHighlandsHS
student just a few months ago. Too cool! S/o to Fort Thomas in the broadcast didn’t hurt either.
Congrats and good luck moving forward,

Varsity veteran and senior captain, Brayden Gillman, committed to
@esu_MSoccer
this week as well!
His goals and assists are tough to replace. More than that, we will miss his leadership and his willingness to outwork everyone on the field.
Congrats, Brayden!

A little late to share this, but this has to be the best team goal we've scored all year (from our game vs. Wyoming). ~15 connected passes led to this goal.
Would loved to have seen him wear one of our blue jerseys . . . but you were clearly competing at the right level.
Congrats to recent

Goal
#2
for this season, was to allow less than 15 goals and score 40+ goals.
After last night's game, we have now tallied 44 goals and have given up only 4 goals.
180 days from July 15th seems like a great day to share the 2021 Varsity schedule (as of now, at least)!

Looking to add some more 🏆 to the shelves.
