“It was a good season and we hate to see it end,” said THS coach Aaron Wendt “We have five graduating seniors and two foreign exchange students we are really going to miss next year.”

The Teutopolis Wooden Shoes soccer team is headed to the sectional.

The Shoes earned that berth with a 3-1 win Friday over Newton in the championship match of the Teutopolis Class 1A Regional.
