? One thing to know today

Three Johnson County schools won girls’ soccer titles last weekend, making it a clean sweep of Kansas classes for local schools.

In Class 6A, Mill Valley won the program’s first-ever state title, defeating Shawnee Mission East 3-0 in the title match in Lawrence, avenging a regular season loss.

The Jaguars’ senior-heavy squad took second place in Class 5A last season and steamrolled to an overall record of 18-2-1 this season. It also marks a soccer sweep for the Jags, after the boys team won the state title in the fall.

In Class 5A this year, St. Thomas Aquinas added a trophy to the already-decorated legacy of that program, beating Bishop Carroll 2-0 in the championship match in Topeka.

It’s Aquinas’ third straight girls’ soccer title and 18th overall. St. James Academy in Lenexa finished third in Class 5A.

And in Class 4A, Bishop Miege won their seventh straight Class 4-1A title, downing Wichita Trinity 4-0 in De Soto. According to KSHSAA Covered, that’s a record for consecutive titles in Kansas girls soccer history.
