The Bellefontaine Black Middle School soccer team capped off a perfect season Monday night, defeating the Graham Falcons 5-0 in the Hi-Point League Championship game.

After a slow start, 7th grader Jayden Dolan found the back of the net twice late in the first half to give the Chieftains a 2-0 halftime lead.

In the second half, Sammy Strayer, Dane Bland, and Dolan each added goals to seal the shutout victory.

Joshua Gildow recorded an assist, while Jack Fissel tallied two.

In goal, Caleb Hudson anchored a strong defensive unit that included William Jenkins, Jasper Clary, Corey Dolan, and Skylar Rutherford, all making key plays to preserve the clean sheet.

Other key contributors were Gianna Davis, Diego Flores, Nilver Martinez, Carson Penhorwood, Camden Vollrath, and Fenix Walker.

The Chieftains ended their season undefeated, scoring 95 goals in 13 games and allowing just one goal all year.
