  • District champion girls' soccer team

    RE girls' soccer wins third straight district title with hard-fought victory

    Things looked bleak for the Ransom Everglades' girls soccer team early in the district championship at Miami Dade College.

    But even with the demoralizing start, early deficit and depleted roster against True North Classical Academy in the January 27 contest, the Raiders persevered. The girls' team rallied for a convincing 2-1 victory and third consecutive district championship under coach Antonio Boada.
