Fall sports wrap-up

Conant’s fall sports season has officially wrapped up with many key players in a variety of sports reaching the state level. With the winter season fast approaching, here’s a short look at the fall season.

Boys soccer

The boys varsity soccer team competed in their first round playoffs against Saint Charles East High School but lost a tough game, 1-2. A highlight of their season was the win against Schaumburg, 3-2, during homecoming week. You can check out their game winning goal here.  Watch out for girl’s varsity soccer this spring.
