Louisville Saint Xavier, as advertised, was a well-coached, skilled, and deep team.

The lone goal of the match came in the first half, as Landon Miller delivered a spectacular strike midway through the opening period. This electrifying moment set the tone for the rest of the match.

The entire team displayed an extraordinary level of energy and focus throughout the match, exemplifying the values and work ethic that have been instilled in the Centerville Boys Varsity Soccer program for half a century.
With this hard-fought victory, the Varsity team improved their season record to an impressive 7-0-2 and winners of 6 straight games.
