Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas City Public Schools is celebrating a historic week on the soccer pitch! Both Northeast High School and Central High School captured their District Championships and will now advance to the MSHSAA State Tournament!

The achievement is especially notable for Central, as this is the first year the school has fielded a Boys Soccer Team since 2019.

Both Central and Northeast will begin State Tournament play in their class quarterfinal rounds on Saturday, Nov. 14. If they win, they will advance to the State Semifinals in St. Louis the following weekend, November 20.
