Westglades Middle School has continued its incredible success, highlighted by the girls’ soccer team winning its 15th straight Division Championship.

The Wolves went undefeated in the regular season and beat Margate Middle School 10-0 in their opening playoff game. They will be back in action on Monday, Oct. 7, against Lyons Creek Middle School at 4:30 p.m.

The boys team went 5-2 but missed out on the postseason. Head Coach Danny Gurr, though, was pleased with his team this year.

“We are extremely proud of the team overall,” Gurr said. “We are excited to see how this team grows in the future.”
