MOUNT FOREST – Wellington Heights Secondary School’s (WHSS) boys varsity soccer team had an exciting playoff run this year after finishing the season in fourth place with three wins, three losses, and four ties, for a total of 13 points.
In the semi-finals on Oct. 28, WHSS played Westside Secondary School in Orangeville.
The game was tied after regulation and overtime, and needed to be decided in penalty kicks, where Wellington Heights prevailed with a final score of 4-3.
