In District 13-3A and District 14-3A, the Clarksville High Wildcats and West Creek High Coyotes both won their district championship matchups by a score of 1-0.

In the Wildcats case, they defeated the Rossview High Hawks to become district champions. Following the game, CHS head coach Austin Carey described the victory as spectacular and said this is the program’s first district championship in around 6 years.

“It’s a big step forward for the school, the program and for men’s soccer in general,” Nakutis said. “I’m very proud of them. I’ve just been telling them all year long, and ever since I got to West Creek, you just have to believe in yourself, and you can win.”

With their victories, Clarksville High is scheduled to face Northwest High on Monday, May 13, as regional play begins. On the flip side, West Creek will face Rossview on Monday as well, according to Max Preps.
