Prep Soccer: Biglerville wins Class A District 3 Title

If you’ve been living under a rock all weekend, you might be unaware that the Biglerville Canners boys’ soccer team captured their first District 3 Class A title on Saturday at Hersheypark Stadium, defeating Camp Hill — the defending two-time champion — 1-0 behind a goal by Alex Lua.

Evening Sun correspondent Tom Sixeas did a great job reporting on the Canners historic day on Saturday at Hersheypark Stadium.

“This is great for the community and great for Adams County to have a district champion,” Biglerville head coach Rob Moore said Saturday. “Biglerville is kind of a forgotten community in our area. … Hopefully, this puts us on the map and we can get twice as many people here on Tuesday.”

Biglerville heads back to Hersheypark Stadium on Tuesday for a date with District 4 runner-up Bentton at 5:30 p.m. The Canners will try to advance past the first round of states for the first time this decade.

As for the win over Camp Hill, it was an effort that finally put Biglerville over the top. Two other times the Canners had featured in the title game — last year and in 2003.
