Highview Christian boys soccer team -In the midst of a 0-32-1 stretch and coming off of a 5-0 loss at Valley, the Highview Christian boys varsity soccer team showed great heart, effort, and team unity in a 2-2 tie against a really good Chop Point team that dismantled them last season 7-0. These boys even after falling behind 1-0 early kept their composure and instead of packing it in took it to the Blue Bears getting the next two goals before giving up the goal that tied the game with a little over six minutes to go.
