After barely losing to Mercer Island last week during the regular season the Juanita boys soccer season ended in the first round of the KingCo tournament with a 5-1 loss to the Islanders.

Mercer Island, which struggled against the Rebels last week, quickly found their stride, earning a 3-0 lead going into the half.

Juanita fought back in the second half against a lethargic Islanders team, finally earning a goal from Garrett Johnson in the 46th minute of play. But the Islanders weren’t finished yet, adding two more goals in the second half for the win.

Prior to the game the KingCo all team selections were announced. Lee earned a first team honor, while Austin Tran was named to the second team, as was Tanner Klein and Seth Kuhns. Nick Horne earned an honorable mention.
