There’s a particular kind of energy that builds when a team refuses to let a game slip away—when effort compounds, belief spreads, and something improbable begins to feel inevitable. That energy was unmistakable on the field this week, as Greenhills girls soccer secured its place in the Catholic High School League (CHSL) playoffs in dramatic fashion.
Greenhills is fortunate to boast an alumni community that continues to give back and be engaged through a variety of avenues.
