Eagles boys soccer team hopes to make deep run in state playoffs

Does the Stratford boys soccer team have the meddle to win a state title?

Eagle fans will have at least part of that question answered on Wednesday when Stratford travels to Athens Academy to meet the top-seeded Spartans.

The third-seeded Eagles are 6-6 and 4-2 in region play. They hope to continue their playoff run and earn a spot in the state tournament at Mercer.

Last week, the team advanced with a victory over Calvary Day in Savannah on the Cavaliers’ new turf field.

The Eagles are led by the team’s leading scorer, Jake Jamison. Jamison is a senior captain, along with Larson McDaniel and George Iakovidis.

Another senior, Logan Thomas, believes the Eagles are battle-tested and ready for a deep run in the playoffs.

“When the going gets tough,” he said, “the tough gets going.”
