It’s not the way Coach Jared Cruddas wanted his Salado Eagles to get to the 4A, Division. 1 State Finals, but less than 10 minutes before the Eagles were to play the undefeated Progreso Red Ants at San Antonio’s Comalander, the UIL State Executive Committee (SEC) ruled that the Red Ants would forfeit their entire season.

Salado Eagles soccer (22-3-3) will face undefeated Progreso (30-0) in the 4A, Div. 1 state semi-final at 7 p.m. April 4 at Comalander Stadium in San Antonio. The Eagles are Region III champions after defeating Lumberton 2-1 in Navasota March 31.
