Lakeview Senior College are the School Sport Victoria senior boys soccer state champions this year.
The group of 20 students and coaching staff headed to Darebin International Sports complex earlier this month to compete for the championship.
Coach and school soccer program manager Anthony Cotroneo said the group arrived and were warmed up before any other team arrived on the day.
“There were two pools of four teams with the winner of each pool to play off against one another in the final,” he said.
“Our boys won 3-0 against Notre Dame and then had a 0-0 draw against Doncaster before in the last pool game we won 3-0 against Bendigo to qualify for the final.
“The team qualified for the final but only had 15 minutes rest before they needed to be on the pitch ready to go.
“The boys dominated play and defeated Mill Park 1-0 for the win and championship.”
Cotroneo said the entire group responded to every challenge on the day, lifting their standard when asked and displaying a very high standard of football in each game.
