Dice Boys Soccer has progressed from the 2024 regular season and into the PIAA post-season playoffs! We’ve been through A LOT this year. Most of it has been compelling game scripts, silky possession, gutsy defending, thrilling goals and last second wins from our talented players. On the flip side, we had a WPIAL playoff berth snatched away on an administrative technicality, but the lads have remained resilient.
The heart of this group has been outstanding. As the dust settles, we sit here having posted an 11-4-1 regular season record, scored 54 regular season goals while conceding only 14, beaten WPIAL playoff teams in Montour and Belle Vernon, defeated the “*Undefeated Section Winners” Latrobe not once but twice, notched an action-packed Senior Night Victory against Obama, and won the PIAA District 8 “*City League” title over Obama again a week later to advance to the 3A sub-regional round of the PIAA State Playoffs where we dominated the PIAA District 9 Champs DuBois in a 2-1 win in front of our home fans garnering a MaxPreps ranking of #7 overall in all of Pennsylvania 3A Soccer. Asterisks abounded this fall, but so did our Goals and Wins. It wasn’t the path we hoped for, but we could not be any prouder. Dice is Dancing into the PIAA 3A States Playoffs, having already posted a first round Sweet 16 win over District 10 Erie area champs General McLane with a 1-0 scoreline and a commanding performance to improve to 14-4-1 overall. The Dragons progress to the State Elite 8 quarterfinals this Saturday against undefeated WPIAL champs Moon. Match is at 7pm at neutral site Peters Township Stadium. Come support the City Boys as we continue to Roll Dice!
