Webb City soccer players are hoping for even better fan support than they received last week as they won the district championship at Cardinal Stadium.

At 1 p.m. Saturday, they will host the Glendale Falcons (23-4) in the quarterfinal.

The Cardinals don’t have the best record, 13-11, but they’ve won nine of their last 12 games. They defeated Belton 5-3 Thursday, Nov. 3, to claim the Class 3 District 6 championship trophy.

Belton took a 2-0 lead against the Cardinals before senior Alex Flores scored the first of his four goals. The game was 2-1 at the half before Belton scored early in the second half to make it 3-1.

Webb City came back with four goals for the win. After two more Flores goals tied the game, junior Josh White put Webb City ahead 4-3, and then Flores scored his final goal.

It is the first time since 1999 that Webb City has won a district championship in soccer. Getting to the final four (on Nov. 18 at Fenton) would be a first for the program.
