participated in the Dixon soccer team’s greatest season in team history,
a record that still hasn’t been beaten. They won no less than 22 games
out of 27, while scoring 110 goals and conceding only 20 throughout the
whole season. They played at a very high level, winning the Sectional
and qualifying for the State Championship.
