JPII’s best effort not enough in state finals

After two regular-season losses at the hands of rival Hilton Head Prep, the John Paul II girls soccer team knew it would take a special effort to unseat the defending SCISA 3A champions.

They gave it, and they nearly did it.

The Golden Warriors went toe-to-toe with the Dolphins on Saturday at Hilton Head Christian Academy, but they couldn’t find the back of the net, which Prep’s Ashley Brothers did on a rebound with just more than 17 minutes left in regulation to lift the Dolphins to a 1-0 win.

“An incredible milestone for these girls to finish second in the state,” JPII coach Hayley Piña said. “We could not be prouder of the girls’ attitude, effort, and heart that they played with all season. With a young group of girls, the future is bright for the soccer program.”
