"I have nothing but pride with what the kids did this year," Tigers' head boys soccer coach Mark Heiderscheid said. "To make the final eight is a great accomplishment. It's always sad to see (the seniors) go. We'll miss them very much."

Coach Heidersheid said the Tigers have a great group of players returning.

"We'll regroup," he said. "It's always our goal to have the best season we can every year."
