Boys Soccer
The boys soccer team made Harker history as it earned the first CCS title in program history over the weekend. The boys started the week with a semifinals win over Sequoia High on penalty kicks. The Eagles then faced St. Francis in the D3 championship game, which was scoreless after regulation. The Lancers scored in the first overtime period, but Harker’s Justin Fung, grade 10, scored late in the second overtime period to send the game to penalty kicks. Laszlo Bollyky, grade 10, came up huge in the net for the Eagles as Harker won the game 3-1 on penalty kicks. The boys now host Galt High at 4 p.m. on Tuesday in the first round of the NorCal playoffs; a win would send the Eagles to Ygnacio Valley High on Thursday.
