Summit boys soccer returns to 5A state championship match

After a one-year break, Summit boys soccer is back in the Class 5A state championship match. The top-seeded Storm defeated No. 5 Centennial 4-2 in the 5A semifinals Tuesday night at Summit High. It is the sixth time since 2018 that the Storm will play for a state title. “That was one of the greatest games I’ve had the privilege of playing in,” said Summit senior Zach Bradley. “I can’t wait to go back (to the title game). I’ve been waiting for it since the day we lost sophomore year.” Summit will take on No. 7 La Salle Prep in the 5A state title match at 1 p.m. Saturday at Hillsboro Stadium in a rematch from 2024, when the Falcons beat the Storm 2-1 for the title. Bradley, senior Quentin Swanston and junior Will Newton were part of the team that fell in heartbreaking fashion to La Salle, which scored both its goals on penalty kicks, including the game winner in the 78th minute. “We are beyond stoked,” Newton said.
