It was a long road to get to this point but the Benjamin Russell girls soccer program overcame everything to capture the Area 5 title.

In a season where they went 11-3-2 with a flawless 4-0 area record, the Wildcats were virtually untouchable in their final game of the season. Wetumpka gave up two goals, one on a penalty kick early from senior Jordan Osbourne and a late insurance goal from eighth-grader Camila Sanchez.
