As of this writing, St. Roch’s eighth grade soccer team is still alive to make first place in their division. They are tied in first place with Lourdes, who won November 12 by a score of 3 to 1 and tied the previous game 1 to 1. St. Roch’s has beaten Christ the King 4 to 1 and St. Rita 5 to 1, but then they destroyed Mid City 10 to 0.
