The Denver East Angels boys soccer team won their 5A state championship. This is the 4th championship for Denver East, their first title since 2011, and they finished their season with an 18-1-1 record.
The Northfield Nighthawks have a 37-1-1 record during this dominant two-year streak. But being repeat champions is a rare feat and an impressive achievement, as only three other 4A schools had been able to repeat their titles since 1990. The Nighthawks often credit their success to the camaraderie of the players and the chemistry of the team. With the girls soccer team winning a title in the spring, this is three semesters in a row of Northfield showcasing its soccer prowess and celebrating state championships. Photo by Sean Dougherty
