High School Soccer Update: Brevard Soccer Powers Surge Into Regional Playoffs

Multiple Teams in the Hunt for a State Championship

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Viera and Holy Trinity are both ranked within the top 30 teams in the nation and are trying to prove that they deserve their rankings in the current playoffs. Viera has no blemishes on their overall record other than multiple ties.

Holy Trinity has one loss and one tie, but is confident they will be back in the state championship and finish what they did not last year.

BOYS SOCCER

Viera holds the No. 1 seed in their region and defeated Lyman 2-1 to move on to the Regional semifinals against Oviedo. Last year, the Hawks were defeated by the Melbourne Bulldogs in the first round.

Melbourne is the No. 3 in the Class 6A region 2 bracket and defeated Wiregrass Ranch 3-2 in the quarterfinals. The Bulldogs draw Sunlake in the second round.

Merritt Island has an opportunity to reach the regional finals as its 12-5 season earned it the No. 2 seed in the Class 4A Region 2 bracket. The Mustangs dominated Eustis 6-0 in round one and now face Nature Coast Tech.
