The Oak Ridge Wildcats boys’ soccer team finished first in District 3-AAA after beating Campbell County 5-2 on Monday. It was the last district game of the regular season.
The Wildcats will play at Maryville, a District 4-AAA team, at 7 p.m. today (Tuesday, May 2).
Because of a bad weather forecast for Thursday, the final regular-season home game against Farragut, also a District 4 team, has been moved to Wednesday. The Oak Ridge-Farragut game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Oak Ridge Soccer Complex at Oak Ridge High School. It will be Senior Night.
Oak Ridge Coach Jeff Trombly said senior Brent Robinson scored two goals against the Cougars on Monday. Seniors Masa Kato and Austin Vinyard had one each, and sophomore Cris Avila also scored.
The Wildcats are 10-3-2 overall and 8-0 in District 3-AAA.
Trombly recently said that the win over Campbell County would give the Wildcats home-field advantage in the District 3-AAA tournament, which is scheduled to start Saturday.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
