Westminster celebrates state soccer title

Westminster School at Oak Mountain dominated its soccer opponents all year long, and the Knights finished off the season with a state championship.

The Knights, who finished the regular season ranked No. 1, captured the Alabama High School Athletic Association Class 1A-3A boys title by blanking Faith Christian 4-0 in Huntsville. 

The Knights (16-1-2) gave up just one goal in the playoffs. Jack Stein was named the tournament’s most valuable player. 

In the championship game, Stein scored one goal and assisted on another. Daniel Richardson, Jarod Keeler and Nathan Richards added goals. Goalkeeper Jonathan Stanford made one save to record the shutout.

Westminster’s lone loss this season came against 7A Hoover, and the two ties were against 7A Spain Park and 6A Homewood.
