Boy's soccer team in State Play-offs!

Congratulations to our varsity boy’s soccer team! They won a nail-biting game last night against Molalla that was tied 1-1 at half-time, and 2-2 at the end of the second half. The game went into two additional overtime periods, and ended in the second round of penalty kicks with a score of North Marion 9, Molalla 8. Their win last night earned them the privilege of entering into the state play-offs. This is the first time in North Marion’s history that the boy’s soccer team has made it to the state play-offs! North Marion will play Ontario on Saturday November 1st on our varsity soccer field at 1pm. Since this is a state-play off game the cost for the game will be $6 for adults and $4 for students. Congratulations again to the North Marion boy’s soccer team and coach Ellingson!
