The Episcopal girls soccer team is having a legendary season! After battling large teams like Denham Springs High School and Catholic High of Pointe Coupee, the Knights remain undefeated with only a few weeks left until the playoffs begin. Head Coach Lynn Bradley is pleased with the stats her team has put up so far. As the numbers show, the Knights are solid on both offense and defense, earning them a top ranking in Division IV.

After last year’s state runner-up title, the Knights hope to return to the championship game to bring the title home. You can be a part of the action by making plans now to support the team as they chart their path back to Strawberry Stadium. Below are upcoming big contests you don’t want to miss.
