Boys soccer wins CCS title as spring season takes off

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. In addition to the CCS title, the boys soccer team was honored as the No. 2 Winter Scholastic Championship Soccer Team with a 3.787 team GPA.

Last week, the baseball team opened the season with a 19-2 win over Overfelt and a 5-0 win over Rancho San Juan. In the win over Overfelt, Max Lee, grade 12, led the offense with two hits and four RBIs; Bobby Wang, grade 10, added two hits and three RBIs. Mark Hu, grade 10, was the story of the day in the win over Rancho San Juan as he tossed a complete game, two-hit shutout, adding seven strikeouts.
