Sheboygan Shines in High School Soccer as Playoffs Kick Off

Sheboygan is buzzing with excitement as the high school soccer season heats up! With the WIAA boys playoffs getting underway, two local teams, Sheboygan North and Sheboygan Lutheran/Christian, are leading the charge in their respective divisions, both maintaining an impressive unbeaten streak this season.

Sheboygan Lutheran/Christian Dominates Division Four

In the latest rankings from the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association, Sheboygan Lutheran/Christian is sitting pretty at the top of the Division Four poll. The team’s outstanding performance has them poised to challenge for another championship title this year. Competing alongside them in the rankings are St. Mary Springs from Fond Du Lac, Howards Grove, and Xavier from Appleton, all vying for the top spots between fifth and seventh. Meanwhile, Lourdes Academy/Valley Christian from Oshkosh rounds out the rankings at tenth.

Action Heats Up for Sheboygan North

Meanwhile, the Sheboygan North team is anxiously awaiting their matches this week as well. Even though they are currently ranked 10th in the poll and have an undefeated record, they were assigned a No. 3 seed in their Division One sectional. This is a bittersweet twist, as it reflects the tough competition they will face. Muskego leads the pack in Division One, followed closely by Brookfield East and Arrowhead, leaving no local teams in the top ten of Division One or Division Two.

Chasing a State Championship

The stakes are high for both teams. Sheboygan North is aiming for its second-ever appearance at the state tournament, the first since way back in 1991. Key to their strategy are their standout players, including top goal scorers Jin Lee and Elliot Konsek, who have been instrumental in leading their team to such fruitful results.

Sheboygan Lutheran/Christian’s Legacy

Bouncing over to Sheboygan Lutheran/Christian, this team has made quite the name for itself in the last few years. They’ve qualified for the state tournament in the past three seasons and even bagged a Division Four championship in 2021. As they enter this playoff season, they’re currently ranked fourth and hold the top seed in their sectional. It’s exciting for fans since they won’t have to worry about facing another ranked team until a potential sectional semifinal against Sheboygan Falls, seeded third and ranked ninth.

Sheboygan Falls will also be looking to make an impact, particularly with key player Victor Aguirre pushing for goals.

Kiel Solid in Division Three

Moving on to other local teams, Kiel is holding its own in Division Three with a top seed in their sectional and a solid spot at No. 2 in the state rankings. Their key players, including leading scorer Emerson Sitzman and his teammate Travis Heller, are determined to take them all the way to the finals. They might even meet the second-seeded and sixth-ranked Sturgeon Bay in an electrifying sectional final.

Upcoming Matches to Watch

As the excitement builds up, mark your calendars for an action-packed week of soccer! Here are some major upcoming matches:

  • Tuesday, Oct. 22: No. 14 Manitowoc Lincoln at No. 3 Sheboygan North
  • Thursday, Oct. 24: No. 1 Sheboygan Lutheran/Christian vs. TBD, No. 12 Wautoma/Wild Rose at No. 5 Plymouth, and many more!

And don’t forget, the state soccer tournament is just around the corner, set to happen from Nov. 7-9 at Uihlein Soccer Park. It’s a thrilling time for high school soccer in Sheboygan, and everyone is eager to see how these talented teams will fare as they strive for championship glory!
