The final week of the 2025 girls high school soccer regular season has came to an end. The final week featured a matchup between West High School and Hardin Valley Academy.
West was victorious, 1-0, on the road. The game’s only goal was scored by Ava Curtis on a free kick with 17 minutes remaining in the first half.
West finished its regular season with a 12-1-1 record. Rebels’ head coach Roberto Castro discussed his team entering the playoffs.
“We’re coming along,” he said. “Really did not know what to expect at the beginning of the year because we had such a new team. We have 18 freshmen and 17 returning players. Of course, they are quality players, but with such a young team you don’t know how quickly they will adapt and catch on to the high school game, the physicality and the speed of it, and, of course, the strength of our district is not easy. I’m happy with how we are coming along.”
Castro was pleased how West performed at Hardin Valley Academy and mentioned it is always a tough matchup versus the Hawks.
“That was a tough game,” he said. “It is always close matches with Hardin Valley. Hardin Valley is really good and has a lot of returning players from last year, so I knew they would be strong. I thought our girls responded well. We played hard and good enough to get a win.”
Hardin Valley Academy goalkeeper Laura Lambert recorded 15 saves against West. The Hawks finished their regular season with an 11-4-1 record.
