This exclusive honor is reserved for only 20 of the best teams in the entire country. Given the fact that 32,000 varsity teams compete, that puts the Cardinals ahead of 99.9 percent of their opponents!

In order to be eligible, the team not only had to be nationally ranked, but also had to win a state championship. Beating Hickory 2-1 on Nov. 17 marked to completion of an incredible 26-1 season — and earned Jacksonville an invitation to the Tour of Champions.

Please join us as we celebrate with the boys soccer team, coaching staff, students and fans on Dec. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the gym at halftime of the boys basketball game.
