The Mac boys varsity soccer team beat Beaverton tonight 3-0. It was their first win at home. Jose Farias, Jovanni Olmedo & Isiai Cuevas-George scored as they get payback after a 1-2 loss at Beaverton last year. Grizzlies improve to 2-1-2.

The McMinnville boys soccer team tied 1-1 with West Linn tonight, but also brought smiles to youth soccer players who had the opportunity to get autographs from the players after their 1st home match of the season. A heartwarming scene ā¤ļø
