Wildcats fall to longtime nemesis
It took penalty kicks to do it, but the Halifax boys’ soccer team’s magical season has finally ended.
In Tuesday’s state playoff opening round, the Wildcats fell, 2-1, on penalty kicks against East Juniata, their Tri-Valley League rival whom they had defeated twice during the regular campaign and once in the TVL semifinals.
The loss ended Halifax’s year at 19-2, but not before the Cats claimed the program’s first-ever District 3-1A title, in addition to the TVL crown.
