Eagles wins Class 7A boys soccer title

Oak Mountain broke open a scoreless first half with three second-half goals to beat Auburn 3-0 and claim the Class 7A boys soccer championship in Huntsville on Saturday.

The win made it a clean sweep for the school in 7A, coming after the Oak Mountain girls beat Auburn 2-1 in a shootout earlier Saturday.

It looked as if the boys' game might be headed to overtime as well. But the Eagles (23-4-1) broke through with goals by Kennedy Davis, Trigg Langner and Clay McDonald to stun Auburn.

Langner was named match MVP.

Goalkeeper Ryan Dearman got the shutout with great help from his defenders, as he was credited with no saves,

It is the fifth state championship for the boys program, but the first under coach Dan DeMasters. The boys also have state championship trophies from 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2011.
